Since December, 2nd 2024, as the use of a health insurance card has shifted to a the Myna Insurance Card, a "Eligibility verification Certificate" or "credential Notice of eligibility information" will be issued to confirm health insurance eligibility.
Please check ”Confirmation flow for health insurance card” to see which one will be issued. After completing the procedure, we will give you a "Notice of eligibility information (paper)". Once you receive the information, you can use Myna insurance card.
* A Eligibility verification Certificate cannot be issued to those who can use a the Myna Insurance Card.
In addition, foreigners who are hired for the first time in Japan will also receive their My Number card within one week of applying at the municipal office, so we will issue information or certification after confirming the My Number related documents without exception.
If you were enrolled in the National Health Insurance before being hired, be sure to complete the procedures for losing your National Health Insurance in your city, ward, town or village.
* In order to use the My Number card as a Myna insurance card, you need to start the procedure.
The procedure can also be done from the card reader of the medical institution.
