Starting June 24, 2025, iPhone users in Japan can add their 일본의 마이넘버 Card to Apple 지갑. This article explains the 기능 and benefits of this integration.

What You Can Do

Adding your 일본의 마이넘버 Card to iPhone enables several key functions. You can log into the My Portal government service portal to check medical expense records, pension records, file address change notifications, and apply for child benefits without needing the physical card. You can also obtain certificates like residency certificates at convenience store multi-copiers by tapping your iPhone.

How to Set Up

Open the Apple 지갑 app, tap the + button, and select “일본의 마이넘버 Card.” Follow the on-화면 instructions to tap your physical card against the back of your iPhone and authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID. The process takes approximately 5 minutes.

Security

Your iPhone-stored 일본의 마이넘버 Card does not contain medical history or bank 계정 information. If your iPhone is lost, you can suspend the card function through the Find My app or a 24/7 support hotline.

Future Plans

The Digital Agency plans to release a “일본의 마이넘버 Card Face-to-Face Verification App” by July 2025, enabling in-person identity verification at hotels, stores, and contract signings using just your iPhone.

Summary

The integration of 일본의 마이넘버 Card with iPhone represents a significant step forward for Japan’s digital government services. It offers convenience without compromising security.
