The Digital Agency announced that it has begun offering an Android version of the My Number Card, a digital adaptation of Japan's national identification card for smartphones running Android ^[1]. The announcement was made as an official notice published on the agency's website and application portal ^[1].

The Digital Agency's notice confirms the start of service but does not provide further details such as the exact launch date, eligibility requirements, associated fees, or the specific procedure for setting up the Android version ^[1]. Readers who wish to use this feature should consult the Digital Agency's official announcement or website directly for complete instructions ^[1].

With this update, the Digital Agency has extended availability to Android devices, following the format described in its official notice ^[1].

However, the source notice does not specify whether there are any differences in functionality compared to other device types, nor does it clarify whether all My Number Card holders are automatically eligible or whether additional registration steps are required ^[1].

As the notice is brief, those interested in using the Android version of the My Number Card should check the Digital Agency's official website for setup guides, requirements, and any further updates ^[1]. The agency's announcement does not include information about release timelines for additional features or expansions beyond the initial Android rollout ^[1].
