Frequently Asked Questions (National Health Insurance)

QuestionWhat should I do if I do not have a photo ID, such as a driver's license, when applying for or reissuing membership?

Response

To complete the enrollment procedure, identification documents of the person coming to the procedure are required.

If you do not have an identification document with a photo, it may be possible to proceed with the process by presenting multiple documents issued by a government agency that do not have a photo of the individual.

The reissuance procedure can be accepted even if there is no identification document. In that case, the Health Insurance Card cannot be handed over at the counter, so it will be sent by simple registered mail at a later date.

If a person from a different household comes to complete the procedure, a power of attorney and identification documents of the agent are required.

• Identity verification documents / Individual number (My Number) verification documents
• Power of Attorney Notification (Letter of Authorization)
