平井大臣記者会見（令和3年6月22日）｜デジタル庁

This page summarizes a press conference by Minister Hirai, Digital Transformation Minister, held on June 22, 2021. He reported that My Number Cards distribution reached approximately 4.224 million cards with a 33.2% issuance rate as of June 20—meaning one in three residents now holds a card. The Minister discussed expanding the card's usage for administrative procedures, integrating it with driver's licenses by fiscal 2024, and embedding digital certificates into smartphones by fiscal 2022. He also announced plans to publicly release audio recordings of meetings later that day to clarify recent media reports.
