Please

1 Information linkage (information inquiry) using My Number is said to require a certain period of time after the provider registers the information to be linked.
As a result, there are cases where information sharing using My Number cannot be done on the same day or it may take several days, and there are issues such as serious delays in administrative processing. Regarding Nakano Ward's National Health Insurance business, please continue to bring your employment insurance certificate until this issue is resolved even after the full-scale operation of information sharing begins.

*Information collaboration is based on the My Number Act, and uses a dedicated network system to link different administrative exchange of information between institutions.
