My Number Card — Renewal
Renewing a My Number card is free. The card itself can be renewed online, by post or at a photo booth if your expiry notice carries an application ID; the electronic certificates inside it must be renewed at the counter. You can apply once less than 3 months remain. The card and the certificates expire at different times: the certificates on your 5th birthday after issue, whatever your age, and the card on your 10th birthday after issue (5th if you are under 18). For foreign residents other than permanent residents, Highly Skilled Professional (ii) holders and special permanent residents, the card's term follows your status and period of stay instead.

My Number Card — New Application
You can apply for a My Number card by smartphone, PC, post, or photo booth. It takes roughly one month from application until your municipality sends the collection notice, and you must collect the card in person at the counter. Once you have the card you can also register it as a health insurance card in Mynaportal.
My Number Card — PIN Reset
If you forget your PIN or lock the card by entering it wrongly too many times, you can reset it at the counter of the municipality where you are registered. If you still know either the signature PIN or the user-authentication PIN, you can also reset the other one at a convenience store kiosk after booking through a dedicated app. Both routes are free.
