I think the last time I used it was at the dentist in December last year… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not in its usual spot = 98% chance I threw it away?
Did I toss it along with My Number?

Now that I think about it, I probably threw it out when I was organizing my drawers along with old cards.

I was a bit panicked, but reissuing is instant (*^-^*) <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Search for Meguro Ward, health insurance, reissue… <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Then a bunch of Meguro Ward pages come up, so click on this one. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are five offices where you can handle procedures. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meguro Ward General Government Building, 1st Floor, National Health Insurance and Pension Division, Eligibility and Assessment Counter <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northern District Service Office <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central District Service Office <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southern District Service Office <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Western District Service Office <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just go to whichever one is closest to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Please note that you’ll need a form of ID (*^-^*) <\/a>

The office has forms available, but if you want to fill one out ahead of time, you can get it here. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s free to issue and takes just a moment? (A few minutes) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What? It’s already done??? That was instant!

“It’s not instant,” (laughs) they said, and we had that kind of exchange.
If your insurance card goes missing, I think it’s faster to just get it reissued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*If you find the old one later, please dispose of it and use the new one (*^-^*) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
