カード情報、スマホに搭載　改正マイナ法が成立

　マイナンバーカードの氏名や住所、顔写真といった情報をスマートフォンに搭載できるようにする改正マイナンバー法などが３１日、参院本会議で与野党の賛成多数で可決、成立した。公布後１年以内に施行される。
　オンラインでの証券口座開設や買い物時の年齢確認などの手続きがスマホで完結できるようになり、利用者の利便性向上につながる。
　カードには、本人の氏名や住所、生年月日、性別（基本４情報）などを証明する機能と、昨年５月からアンドロイド端末で搭載可能となっている、本人であることを裏付ける電子証明書の機能がある。米アップル社のｉＰｈｏｎｅ（アイフォーン）では、来春にも両方の機能を搭載できるようになる。（2024/05/31-11:20）

Japan's parliament on Friday enacted a law that enables personal information on My Number social security and taxation identification cards to be stored in smartphones.
   The revised My Number law, which will take effect within a year after promulgation, enables information such as cardholders' names, addresses and face photographs to be saved in their smartphones.
   The move is expected to boost cardholders' convenience, as procedures such as opening online brokerage accounts and age verification when shopping can be completed using their smartphones.
   My Number cards serve as certificates of cardholders' names, addresses, dates of birth and gender, among other information, and as electronic certificates for identity verification, which has been available on Android smartphone devices since last May. Both features will be available on Apple Inc.'s iPhone smartphones from next spring.
   The legislation also includes a provision to remove gender as part of information displayed on My Number cards, after calls for eliminating it in consideration of sexual minorities. Gender information will not be printed on the surface on new cards to be introduced as early as 2026, but will be stored in the cards' IC chips.
