Japan's Digital Agency announced on November 12, 2026, that it had added a new poster and leaflet titled "Put your My Number card on your smartphone" to the public relations materials section of its website, within the category dedicated to the smartphone-based My Number card ^[1]. The update includes both a standard leaflet and a large-format B2-size poster version of the same design ^[1].

The agency's materials page already featured a separate poster, "Put your My Number card inside your iPhone," which was also available in both regular and B2 poster formats ^[1]. With the new addition, the smartphone section of the page now contains two distinct poster campaigns: the earlier iPhone-focused design and the newly added, more general smartphone-oriented poster ^[1].

According to the Digital Agency, all materials posted on the page, including the new poster, are freely available for use, including distribution at seminars, and no prior notice to the agency is required before using them ^[1]. This open-use policy applies to the full range of materials listed on the page, not only the new smartphone poster ^[1].

The smartphone-related section of the page also links to related video content, including a 30-second video titled "My Number card: you can put it into your smartphone," produced in January 2026, and a video explaining how to add a My Number card to an iPhone, produced in June 2025 ^[1]. These videos are hosted on the Digital Agency's official YouTube channels ^[1].

The same public relations page hosts a wide range of other My Number-related materials, including leaflets on card renewal procedures with a usage deadline of March 31, 2027, guidance on applying for a My Number card from overseas, and materials on using the card as a health insurance card ^[1]. For foreign residents who hold or are considering applying for a My Number card, these newly added posters and leaflets may offer visual guidance on using the smartphone version of the card, though the notice itself does not provide instructions on how to set up or use the smartphone-based card ^[1]. Those seeking procedural details should consult the Digital Agency's official page directly ^[1].
