Japan adding new features to My number Card

The health insurance card in Japan might disappear from next year as the government plans to integrate its features with the My Number Card – an ID document used (optionally) as a national ID.

This will make it possible for people to access health insurance services only with the My Number Card, which is said to be owned at the moment by 76 percent of Japanese.

The outlet indicates however that My Number Cards with health insurance functions could be accepted for insurance services from this month.
