Abolition of NHI card

With the integration of My Number card and NHI card, NHI card will be discontinued after 12/2, 2024. NHI card will no longer be issued, but you can use your current valid NHI card until the end of its valid period. Certificates of eligibility with the same details as the NHI card are to be issued free of charge on or after 12/2.
Around the end of October, a notification will be sent to household through special registered delivery, informing the personal information registered to Minato City National Health Insurance Card number so you can use My Number NHI card with peace of mind. Please read and use the My Number NHI card.

A person who enrolled in social insurance

When you enroll in social insurance, you need to submit notice that you are withdrawing from NHI. Bring your new employer-issued health insurance card and NHI card and apply at Resident Support Sections of Regional City Offices. It can be applied by post. Please inquire for details.

Delayed withdrawal from NHI

If you use your NHI card after you lose your eligibility for the NHI of Minato City, you must pay back the cost of medical treatment borne by Minato City. Please complete the withdrawal procedure from NHI and return your NHI card.
