On October 23, Japan's mobile payment service PayPay announced that to enhance the security of electronic identity verification, it will cancel the method of applying for identity verification by photographing documents such as Individual Number Cards and driver's licenses and instead uniformly read the information from the IC chips of these documents by early November 2026. PayPay stated that this move aims to reduce the risks of document image information leakage and impersonation authentication, and to meet relevant security standards in advance.
