Like Basic Resident Registration Cards, Individual Number Cards (My Number Card) will contain an IC chip. They will have the bearer’s name, address, date of birth, and sex, as well as an ID photograph on the front, and the Individual Number on the back.

You may use your card as a form of personal ID to confirm your identity. You may also use it to receive services established in the ordinances of local governments, such as receipt of a library card or seal registration certificate. Your card will also contain an electronic certificate that can be used for electronic filing for the online national tax return filing and tax payment system (e-Tax).

On the other hand, the notification card will be a paper card. It will note the person’s name, address, date of birth, and sex, and Individual Number, but will not have an ID photograph.
Please note that because the notification card cannot in itself be used to confirm your identity, you will need to present a document that is stipulated in the responsible ministry ordinance (among planned acceptable documents are a driver’s license) together with the card.
