Huge Pitfalls When Getting a My Number Card for a Child

A My Number card issued under age 15 may lack a signature electronic certificate, which is required for some online services.

The JPKI PIN Reset App cannot add a certificate; it only resets existing PINs, so it fails if no signature certificate exists.

Facial recognition can fail if the registered childhood photo differs from the person's adult appearance, causing lockout during PIN reset.

Some municipalities allow online moving notifications with a My Number card, but practical issues can block the process when certificates or matching photos are absent.
