55.02 J-LIS MyPortal
Why it matters
J-LIS operates the MyPortal (マイナポータル) platform that unlocks most digital government services once your My Number card and PINs are activated. The site aggregates municipal notices, health insurance data, childcare benefits, and e-Tax messages that multiple Living Chronicles notes direct residents to monitor.
Core capabilities
- Secure message box: Receives municipal announcements, benefit approvals, and national tax notifications, reducing reliance on postal mail after you register an address in 41.02 Arrival and First Months.
- Data download services: Provides vaccination certificates, health insurance statements, and My Number usage logs useful for 41.03 Healthcare and Insurance and annual tax filings.
- Linked services directory: Lists private-sector integrations (banks, fintech apps, e-signature services) that rely on My Number authentication, supporting the automation steps described in 41.04 Digital Government and Civic Services.
