The government's working team, which is considering the spread and promotion of the My Number system, has moved forward from the initial target of 8 years to the end of 6th year of Reiwa regarding the introduction of a mechanism to integrate the My Number card and driver's license. I summarized the draft of the report.
In order to promote the spread and promotion of the My Number system and to promote the digitization of national and local governments, the government has set up a working team to proceed with the study and has recently compiled a draft report.
According to this, the introduction of a mechanism to integrate the Individual Number Card and driver's license will be advanced from the initial target of 8 years in Reiwa to the end of 6 years in Reiwa.
In addition, the company plans to consider how a "mobile driver's license" that can display driver's license information on a smartphone should be based on international standards.
On the other hand, in order to strengthen the governance of "J-LIS" = Japan Agency for Local Authority Information Systems, which operates the My Number card management system, we are considering submitting a bill necessary for the ordinary Diet session next year.
On the 11th, the government will hold a working team meeting with Prime Minister Suga in attendance to compile a report that includes these details.
