Japan’s national digital identity has only reached a third of its residents, a year after launch.

Out of 30 million cards, only 9.83 million have been distributed, according to Japan Times. One of the reasons for the delay was due to a series of computer glitches at the Japan Agency for Local Authority Information Systems, tasked with the production of the cards.

The system, My Number, allows citizens to access social security, tax payments, e-government services and health records.

A notary is a qualified lawyer whose task it is to authenticate documents and transactions so that they can be effective in countries outside England & Wales

 Until 1533 notaries were appointed on papal authority by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Following the break from Rome, appointments continued to be made by the Archbishop of Canterbury – but on the authority of the Crown. The Archbishop’s jurisdiction was, and is, exercised through one of the oldest of the English courts – the Court of Faculties, now physically located at the Precinct adjoining Westminster Abbey in London.
