Use of materials to make administrative procedures easier to understand

Improvement of technical and confusing administrative procedures

There are many technical terms for digital procedures related to the My Number, and it is necessary to convey them in an easy-to-understand manner at a glance by using illustrations and icons. However, until now, there was no dedicated material for official distribution as a government.
For this reason, it was necessary for local governments and private service providers to create their own expressions, and there was a problem in that expressions varied depending on the transmitter.

Affordable, easy-to-understand presentation

Creating illustrations and icon materials requires expert knowledge and a lot of time. There are various considerations such as whether the visibility is kept high or whether the expressions are easy to understand for people living in or visiting Japan. By distributing materials that can be used by anyone, we can save time for different institutions to produce and study the same thing.
At the same time, we have distributed guidelines that allow us to check various items to be considered in the production of materials, so we respond to the need to "add new materials in the future."

Aiming for a "Gentle digitalisation" that is easy for anyone to understand

The purpose of distributing these materials is to make it easier for the public to understand complicated operating methods and procedures, and to make it possible for people who are not interested in digital technology or who are not good at it to feel the "gentle digitalisation."
In the shapes of illustrations and icons, large curves are used to soften the impression, and multiple elements are packed into one icon so that it does not become complicated. In order to give the impression that it is easy to understand and that I can do it myself when I look at it, we have conducted repeated studies.
