Announcement

My Number System is an infrastructure for realizing a fairer and more equitable society by improving convenience for citizens and improving administrative efficiency as a foundation for the digital society. Information sharing among administrative agencies in My Number System makes it possible to omit attached documents in various administrative procedures.

This is a 12-digit number assigned to all residents of Japan who have a certificate of residence. My Number is used for administrative procedures determined by laws and regulations or ordinance, such as social security system, tax system, and disaster response. My Number enables quick and accurate identification of individuals. In addition, by sharing information between administrative agencies in administrative procedures, the number of necessary attached documents will be reduced and administrative processing will become smoother, improving convenience for citizens. Furthermore, it will be possible to quickly provide necessary administrative support to those who need it.
