ARC updated UI no. (new format)

I recently got my new ARC with new UI number, aside from the Bank records, what else do I need to update and what can I skip at the moment? e.g. Drivers license, vehicle registration, etc.

Thank you.

Skip everything.

Everything!

In case you are paying for health insurance i believe you should also inform them about your new UI No. The same applies to Stock brokers, otherwise you will have trouble receiving those annual dividends.

You can skip at the moment the Driver license, vehicle registration and NHI card, as the old number appears in the back of your new card and it can be updated at a later date.

I have had my new one since March and have updated nothing. The old number is printed on the back of the new Card too.

The only hassle I have had so far is to remember to quote the OLD number in relation to anything NHI related such as Vaccinations - as the old number is printed on the NHI Card. One day I will go in and get them to change it - but not before I get a Vaccination Certificate/Passport for travel.

what must be done in this case? I will get my first vaccine dose this week.

noted. how about if I change my address?

yes, if you happen to change your address, you should also update your new address along with your new UI no.

They will ask for your NHI Card, and it has your old ID No printed on it. If they need more show your new ID Card as it has the New No on the front and Old no on the back.

Edit - I assume that you have already made the booking using your NHI Card.

Yes, I did, with the old UI.
I mean which is the hassle part, that you need to change the old UI in Vaccination certificate to new UI?

No, the hassle for me was doing the booking, I had used the New ID and it said No, so I used the Old ID and it went through.
I wrote the New ID as well as my Passport No on the Yellow Card.
