*Sankei Shimbun 2024/8/21 08:00 Three women of Filipino nationality were arrested by the Osaka Prefectural Police between March and May for illegally obtaining My Number cards and passports. The card is in the name of a daughter of Japanese nationality born to a female relative and a Japanese man. The woman, who was staying in Japan illegally, obtained a My Number card from city hall using her daughter’s official certificate, which did not include a photo, and even went on to marry another Filipino man. Since once one has a My Number Card, they are able to enjoy all sorts of rights within the country, experts point out that “the process by which the cards are issued should be investigated.” “I want to earn money while attending school in Japan.” In November 2019, Martinez Maureen Mesiano (30), who came to Japan from her native Philippines and was indicted on charges of violation of the Passport Act, made this proposal to a female relative (61) living in Osaka Prefecture, who was arrested on suspicion of fraud. Defendant Martinez has a short-term visa for tourism purposes, which does not allow him to work. If they continue to stay in Japan illegally, they will run the risk of being arrested. When he desperately sought advice, a female relative offered him a suggestion, saying she knew of a good way for him to stay in Japan. According to the prefectural police, the female relative has a daughter (32) of Japanese nationality born to a Japanese man, but she left the country for the Philippines when she was young. The woman’s idea was to impersonate the girl and obtain Japanese identification. Obtaining a patient card without insurance The first and biggest hurdle is obtaining a My Number card. To apply, you will need a notification of issuance of your My Number Card and identification documents. Regarding identification, you will be required to submit one photo ID such as a driver’s license, or two official documents such as a health insurance card even if you do not have a photo.

Yay! The idiot who desperately lied about the My Number card preventing fraud is still breathing? Ah, if he was a normal person he’d hang himself out of embarrassment a long time ago, so he’s probably still breathing.
They’re just riding on the coattails. There are about 1 million Chinese people who are living by impersonating dead or murdered Japanese people. The reason the police are reluctant to search for missing people is because of this vested interest.
They are being targeted by criminals all over the world. As long as you have a My Number card, you can steal any Japanese person’s property as much as you want.
I use my My Number health insurance card because it’s convenient, but I don’t trust it and I’m worried that a major accident might happen someday, so I want a paper health insurance card/qualification confirmation certificate.
The LDP and Kono are being blamed for the My Number card issue, but the system was actually made by Fujitsu, and it was the Democratic Party government that commissioned Fujitsu lol.
Think about what I wrote above for a second. What if they kill her and there’s no body? What if they treat her as a missing person and go live somewhere else? The police will be completely useless.
It’s like lending your My Number card, so once you lend it out there’s no way to prevent it. I’m sure it’s rampant that people will have their My Number cards taken by those who owe money.
Welfare and pensions are unscrupulous groups that are simply out to make money by creating disputes, and the budget for monitoring them – i.e. sending former police officers and Takeuchi temporary workers to other positions – is orders of magnitude larger than the illegal losses they incur.
They should make identity verification stricter when reissuing cards, and remove insurance coverage if there is fraudulent use. Foreigners should be deported. They should be stricter.
Isn’t this not just a weakness of the My Number Card, but a case of complete piggybacking? The daughter who lent her name can now not get her own My Number Card.
>>40 His 32-year-old daughter is still in the Philippines, so I don’t think she has any plans to return to Japan. I wonder if her daughter still has dual citizenship like Renho.
