About personal number letter of advice (my number notice card)

On October 5, 2015, a personal number (personal number) was assigned to each person with resident certificate in Japan. From October 5, 2015, your My Number will be assigned if you submit a birth registration form or move in from abroad and create a resident certificate in Japan for the first time.

From May 25, 2020, your My Number will be notified by the "Personal Number Notice". (It will be delivered by mail about 3 weeks after completing procedures such as birth registration form.)
