## About SmartPOST
SmartPOST is a digital postal service that utilizes My Number cards to deliver notifications from local governments to the resident's own smartphone.
Local governments can achieve a phased digital transition without significantly altering their existing workflow through a 'selective sending' feature that allows them to use both paper mailing and digital notifications depending on the purpose.
Because residents can receive notifications on their smartphones, they can check, store, and look back at them anytime, which also leads to improved convenience.

1. Secure and Safe Delivery of Personal Notifications
This service delivers important notifications from local governments to a dedicated 'digital mailbox' that can only be used by residents who have verified their identity using their My Number card.
It eliminates the risks of spoofing and phishing that are problematic with email and SMS, allowing both local governments and residents to send and view notifications with peace of mind.
2. Implementation Track Record in Approximately 80 Municipalities and Accompanied Support System
As of FY2025, it has been implemented in approximately 80 municipalities, and within Tokyo, it was first implemented in Adachi Ward. While the online transition of applications and notifications is progressing, it solves the issue of administrative notifications that tend to remain on paper, realizing improved convenience of resident services and the streamlining of local government operations.
Furthermore, a dedicated accompanied support representative is assigned to contracted municipalities to provide continuous support from implementation to utilization.
3. Flexible Integration with Local Government Portals and Various Services
