My Number is mainly used in the following three areas. ・ Social security ・ Taxes ・ Disaster compensation The introduction of the My Number system allows the government to reduce the time and effort required to check documents. Until now, people applying for social security had to prepare documents for the application, but the My Number system allows the applicant to apply to administrative agencies without attached documents.

In addition to the information written on the face of the card, the IC chip mounted on the personal number card records an electronic certificate for electronic application, but sensitive personal information such as income information and illness history is recorded.
