This page summarizes Minister Taira's press conference held on August 5, 2025. Two major announcements were made: First, the release of a My Number Card face-to-face verification app compatible with iPhone's My Number Card, which has been adopted by approximately 1.45 million users since June 24. This enables secure identity verification in various scenarios including real estate transactions, account opening, and local government services. Second, the establishment of the "Disaster Dispatch Digital Support Team" (D-CERT), created in collaboration with the Digital Agency and the Defense DX Public-Private Co-creation Council, based on lessons learned from the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.
