My Number Card Overseas Continued Use

Japanese citizens who have a My Number Card and are moving abroad should submit a "Continued Use Abroad" application along with their notification of moving out.

• Note：You must complete the procedure by the day before the planned departure date. After the planned departure date, you will not be able to proceed with the procedures for continued use abroad, and the My Number Card will become invalid.
• Note：Foreign residents cannot complete the procedure for continued use from abroad, so it is necessary to return the My Number Card at the same time as submitting the notification of moving out.
