The Council of Indigenous Peoples has recently approved the Three-Year Plan to Promote the Registration of Traditional Names of Indigenous Peoples, aiming to create an environment conducive to registering traditional indigenous names. In addition to effectively integrating inter-agency registration fees and service measures, the plan also emphasizes frontline staff education and training and utilizes diverse marketing and publicity channels.

According to the Council of Indigenous Peoples, despite more than 30 years since the amendment of the Name Act, the number of indigenous people registering traditional names is less than 40,000, accounting for only 6% of the total indigenous population. This low registration rate is attributed to several factors: first is the stigma still associated with traditional indigenous names in mainstream society; second, the registration process for traditional names often requires new documents to be issued, leading to time-consuming procedures; and last, many indigenous people are accustomed to using Han names and may be concerned about the potential impact of changing their names on their current lives or work.

The Council of Indigenous Peoples indicated that the primary goal of this plan is to increase indigenous people's willingness to register traditional names and enhance mainstream society's understanding of the historical and cultural significance of traditional indigenous names. Through the five main execution strategies of "inter-agency integrated services," "one-stop services," "registration incentives," "utilization of diverse marketing and publicity channels," and "human resource training and administrative incentives," the plan aims to strengthen knowledge of indigenous naming culture among external parties and organizational members, thus shaping a friendly environment where people feel more at ease using their traditional names.

Finally, the Council of Indigenous Peoples emphasized that the recent amendment to the Name Act passed the third reading by the Legislative Yuan, allowing indigenous people to register traditional names by solely using indigenous languages, aiming to safeguard indigenous people's right to decide which name to use. This plan is expected to encourage more indigenous people to register their traditional names, deepen the public's understanding of indigenous cultural heritage, and enhance external recognition and understanding of traditional indigenous names.
