1. Getting to know My Number Card

Use as a health insurance card (My Number Card as the Health Insurance Certificate)

In order to use My Number Card as a health insurance card, registration is only required for the first time. There are three ways to apply: by using the card reader with facial recognition at the counters of medical institutions and pharmacies, by applying from Mynaportal, or by applying from a Seven Bank ATM. Please note that it is possible to register My Number Card as the Health Insurance Certificate even if you have a certificate of eligibility, so please actively consider it.

Use as a driver's license (Myna driver's license)

You can use your My Number Card as your driver license by recording your license information on the My Number Card's IC chip. You can choose to hold your driver license in one of three ways: "Only with Myna driver's license," "With both your driver license and Myna driver's license," or "Only with your driver license." You can change the way you hold your driver license other than when you renew it, but the fee will be different from that for renewing it.

Use as a identity verification

In recent years, online identity verification using My Number Card has been spreading not only in administrative services at national and local governments, but also in private-sector services. Online identity verification using My Number Card has been realized by scanning electronic certificate installed in IC chips in My Number Card, rather than using My Numbers (individual numbers).

Safety measures are as follows.

  • Impersonation is not allowed. Face-to-face abuse is difficult because it has a face photo.
  • The IC chip doesn't contain highly private personal information such as tax and pension.
  • Even if it is used as a health insurance card, specific medical examination information or drug information will not be included in the IC chip.
  • My Number is not used for online identity verification because electronic certificate is used.
  • Even if your My Number is seen, your personal information won't be stolen because you can't go through the procedure only with your My Number.

Updating My Number Card and electronic certificate

There are 2 types of My Number Card, one is the expiration date of the My Number Card itself and the other is the expiration date of the My Number Card installed in the IC chip of the electronic certificate. The expiration date is set for each, and you need to go through the renewal procedure for each.

If you are 18 years of age or older at the time of issuance of the card: until your 10th birthday from the date of issuance of the card

  • * For those under 20 years of age who apply for a My Number Card card by March 31, 2022 (2022), the card will be valid until their fifth birthday.
  • If you are under 18 years of age at the time of issuance of the card: Up to your fifth birthday since the issuance of the card
