Certificate of eligibility for people who need assistance
Overview
People who find it hard to use the My Number card at a medical counter, for example because a helper must accompany them, can apply for a certificate of eligibility. The application can be made by the person, a family member in the same household, or a proxy. Care facility staff can apply on someone's behalf after calling the section in advance. Apply at the National Health Insurance and Pension Section, South Building 2nd floor, counter 22, or at any civic office. The form can be downloaded from the ward's website.
