“Daniel’s Japan Tips”
My Number Cards and Residence Cards

In this article, I will explain the content in the title in an easy-to-understand way for foreign residents. Some of this information may already be familiar to you.
Recently, I have received more questions from foreign residents regarding "My Number Card renewal" and "the integration of the residence card and My Number Card." Therefore, I decided to write this article to explain it as clearly as possible.

First, let me explain the My Number Card.
There are two types of updates for the My Number Card.

The first type is the renewal notice that will be sent from the local municipality about three months before your fifth birthday after your My Number Card was issued. This is related to the procedure for renewing the electronic certificate. If you do not complete the renewal, services such as using your My Number Card as a health insurance card and obtaining official certificates at convenience stores will become unavailable. The renewal fee is free, so please be sure to complete the procedure.

The second type is the renewal notice for the My Number Card itself, which will be sent about three months before your tenth birthday after your My Number Card was issued. This renewal also carries no fee.
However, those under 18 will need to renew their My Number Card approximately every five years since the validity of the card is limited to five years. If the expiration date is exceeded, you will need to reissue your My Number Card, which incurs a fee of 1,000 yen. Additionally, if you lose your card, you will also need to reissue it, which similarly requires the 1,000 yen fee.
For long-term residents, after renewing your residence period, you will need to change the validity period (extension) of your My Number Card at your local municipality. When doing this, please bring the new residence card and the My Number Card, and generally, the person must complete the procedure in person at the window.

Next, a new format of the residence card was introduced on June 14, 2026.
As a result, a facial photograph, which was previously required for applicants aged 16 and over, is now also required for applicants aged one and over.
The old format of residence cards that you currently hold can be used until their expiration date.

Moreover, starting on June 14, 2026, the operation of a "Specified Residence Card," which combines the residence card and My Number Card into a single card, will begin, allowing applications for the "Specified Residence Card."
Interested individuals can apply for the "Specified Residence Card."

※Those with special permanent residency can also apply for the "Specified Special Permanent Resident Certificate" that combines the My Number Card.
The main advantage of the Specified Residence Card and the Specified Special Permanent Resident Certificate is that the procedures related to the residence card and My Number Card can be completed at the same time when the card is issued. Thus, except for some procedures, you will generally no longer need to visit both the Regional Immigration Services Agency office and your municipal office. Obtaining a "Specified Residence Card" and a My Number Card is not a legal obligation. There are no penalties for not obtaining them.
Just as obtaining a My Number Card is voluntary, obtaining a "Specified Residence Card" is also voluntary. It is still possible to have both the residence card and My Number Card.
Additionally, with the introduction of the "Specified Residence Card" and similar, the format for residence cards will also change, so if you do not wish to obtain the "Specified Residence Card," a new format of the residence card will be issued.

In addition, the following system is currently in place.
Since December 2, 2024, Japan has stopped issuing new conventional health insurance cards, transitioning to a system where the "My Number Insurance Card" is the norm for receiving medical treatment. However, for those who do not possess it, paper "Eligibility Confirmation Certificates" will be issued, allowing them to receive insurance medical treatments as before.
※At present, the mandatory acquisition of the My Number Insurance Card is being considered as part of future measures for widespread use, but it is not legally mandated at this point, and obtaining it remains voluntary.

“Yumi’s Japan Tips”
Challenges Facing Non-Regular Employment in Japan

In Japan, many foreign workers are employed in arrangements other than as regular employees.
In this Yumi's Japan Tips, I would like to explore with you the workplace challenges that we foreigners working in Japan face.
While non-regular employment offers a certain degree of flexibility, it also presents challenges.
For example, if a company’s financial situation deteriorates or a major economic crisis occurs, temporary and contract employees may be the first to have their contracts terminated or lose their jobs.

Actually. I have been working at the Inuyama City Hall since the 2008 financial crisis.
I still clearly remember how, around that time, many foreign workers were laid off from their temporary jobs, and their lives became very difficult.　People who were not regular employees were the first to lose their jobs, and there were many families where both spouses were unemployed and struggling to make ends meet. Furthermore, quite a few people were unable to find new jobs in Japan and had no choice but to return to their home countries.

However, this problem isn't limited to foreigners.
There are people in Japan who are referred to as the “Job Market Ice Age Generation.”
The “Job Market Ice Age Generation” refers to people who graduated from school between around 1993 and around 2004.　At that time, the Japanese economy was in a slump, and companies weren’t hiring many new employees.　As a result, many people who graduated from vocational schools or universities were unable to secure full-time positions and ended up working as temporary agency workers or part-time employees.

The “Generation of the Employment Ice Age” is now 50 years old or older. Many of them still find it difficult to secure full-time employment, and this has become one of Japan’s social issues.
Furthermore, in non-regular employment, bonuses and severance pay are often nonexistent, and lifetime earnings tend to be lower than those of regular employees.
On the other hand, as regular employees gain experience—typically over 5 or 10 years—their salaries and job titles gradually increase.
Furthermore, by the time people reach their 40s, it is not uncommon for there to be a significant difference in income between regular employees and non-regular employees.　For many families with children in their 40s and 50s, this is a time when their children are entering high school or college, and it’s also a period when significant expenses—such as education costs—arise.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
That’s exactly why it’s important to think not only about your “current salary” but also about “who you’ll be in 10 or 20 years” while you’re still young.
Of course, full-time employment isn’t right for everyone.

Some people choose work arrangements other than full-time employment based on their family circumstances and personal lifestyle.
The important thing isn’t deciding which work arrangement is best.
I think it’s important to understand the advantages and challenges of each option and make a choice while considering your own future.
I, too, came to Japan in the 1990s as a migrant worker, knowing almost no Japanese.
Back then, there were almost no options other than working through a temporary staffing agency, and it was a time when becoming a regular employee was extremely difficult. In addition, many people had to send money back to their families back home, so a lot of them had to choose “a job that pays a lot right now” over “a job where the salary would gradually increase over time.”

For that reason, I think there was a time when working for a staffing agency offered significant benefits for many foreign nationals.
However, times have changed.

An increasing number of our children and grandchildren are being born and raised in Japan.　That is precisely why I hope that future generations, if given the opportunity to choose, will thoroughly understand the advantages and challenges of both regular and non-regular employment, and select the path that best suits them while considering their future pensions, bonuses, and the opportunity to build a career through their work.

Many of us in the first generation lived through an era when we had few opportunities to make our own choices. Many foreign workers who came to Japan were unable to work as regular employees because they did not understand Japanese. As a result, many of them were not enrolled in social insurance even though they were working through staffing agencies. Some also did not enroll in the National Pension System. Now that these people have reached old age, many are struggling to make ends meet in their later years because their pensions are insufficient.　This issue is frequently covered on television and in newspapers as one of Japan’s social problems.

That’s exactly why I hope to spare the next generation even a little of the hardship we’ve faced. I’d be very happy if this article proves even slightly helpful in that regard.

Let’s continue to discuss the issues and challenges faced by foreign communities on Facebook.
