We held a briefing session and symposium for the media on "Proof of Student Status by Using My Number Card - digitalization verification test"

Digital Agency is working to expand My Number Card use and application in private sector. We are promoting the creation and expansion of identity verification use and application scenarios using My Number Card, including safe and convenient online transactions for private sector services, such as opening accounts at financial institutions, applying for mobile phones, using matching apps, and preventing the illegal resale of event tickets.

We have been conducting My Number Card in various fields with the aim of creating scenarios for the use of verification test in daily life. However, we have implemented a social implementation for a limited period of time with the aim of social implementation of the "digitalization infrastructure for university student certificate", which was technically verified last year. On Tuesday, March 17, 2026, we held a briefing for the media.

Conventionally, in the case of use cases where universities issue documents, such as university students' school certificates, verify them at the counter of transportation or other facilities, and provide services, there were issues such as time and location restrictions on the issuance and delivery of documents, the workload of manned handling of the issuance and verification of certificates (paper), and the difficulty of confirming impersonation and authenticity.
