The member number is printed on the Membership Card above card holder's name.
The Basic Pension number is a 10-digit number uniquely assigned to an individual by the Japan Pension Service and is unchanged for the individual’s entire lifetime even when the Employees’ Pension Insured Persons type changes due to a change in occupation. In principle, this number is assigned to persons aged 20 and older.
Persons who already have a Basic Pension number must notify PMAC of the number when he/she become a member.
Basic Pension number is printed on Basic Pension number notice and “Nenkin Teikibin (Pension Service Letters)” issued by the Japan Pension Service
“My Number” is a 12-digit number used for purposes such as sharing information for medical insurers. The system is based on the “Act on the Use of Numbers to Identify a Specific Individual in Administrative Procedures.”
PMAC collects “My number” as the “Persons in Charge of Processes Using Individual Numbers” defined in the My Number System (The Social Security and Tax Number System.)
When acquiring a qualification or becoming a dependent, report your “My Number” through your school, etc.
When a dependent who had been living abroad at the time of acquiring the status of a dependent returns to Japan and receives “My Number” for the first time or when there is a change to “My Number,” you are required to report this using a “My Number Renewal Reporting Form.”
Be aware that the member is responsible for confirming the correct Individual Number of the dependent.
