If you lose your My Number Card, please follow the procedures below.

  1. First, to prevent the misuse of your card, please contact the call center below and proceed with the temporary suspension process.
  2. After the temporary suspension, please submit a lost property report at the nearest police box or police station. Please note that the receipt number for the lost property report will be required for the reissuance procedure of the My Number Card, so please be careful not to lose it.
