【URGENT】New UI Format of Alien Resident Certificate Number

Since the Government of Taiwan has changed the number system for its ARC to match with Taiwan’s national identification card, students who renewed their ARC this year must do the following:

  • Post Office Bank Account: Go to the Post Office to update your ARC UI Number. Present your new ARC Card.
  • Work Permit: Apply to the Work Development Agency for a new one. Download this form and photocopy it. Attach 1x1 inches photo, photocopy of your new and old ARC (both sides), and a copy of your passport.
  • NHI Card (Optional): Go to the Post Office to change your NHI Card. Present the photocopy of your ARC photocopy of both sides then fill out the required form. Attach one latest photo and pay NT$200. You will receive your new card in 5 working days. If you don't intend to change your NHI Card, make sure to always bring your ARC together with the NHI Card every time you make an appointment with the doctor or avail of any hospital services.
