I want to start a new thread where people report websites/services/places where the new ID number format could not be used. Btw. the idea by NIA to change the format was for it to be accepted at more online services. Discussion about new ID format can be done here MoI changed the ID Number format …

I think it will be open for all after category 10.

New entry. The website used to find one’s NHI card number doesn’t support ARC/APRC. Household registration ID is required. https://cloudicweb.nhi.gov.tw/edesk/AP/NhiCardQuery.aspx

Yup…I agree, it’s good to report. Does anyone know if there’s an official document (in Chinese) that can be sent to app or website developers which summarises the situation and explains what changes they need to make?
