Alien Registration (Until July 8,2012)

 
    Foreign nationals who will stay in Japan for more than 90 days must carry out the alien registration process at the city/ward office in the area where they live.    
   

Initial Registration

You must complete alien registration at your city/ward office within 90 days of arrival. You will need your Certificate of Alien Registration for various processes after enrolling at Keio, so please visit your city/ward office as soon as possible to register.
Documents necessary for Alien Registration:
  • 1. Alien Registration Application Form (available at your city/ward office)
  • 2. Passport
  • 3. Two photos (4.5cm x 3.5cm) taken within six months of application
Your Certificate of Alien Registration will be ready in approximately two weeks after application. Please make sure to take your passport to your city/ward office when you pick up your Certificate of Alien Registration. You are required to carry your Certificate of Alien Registration with you at all times.

Change in Registration Details

During your stay in Japan, if there is a change in your registration details, such as an extension of your period of stay, or a change of address or status of residence, you must notify your city/ward office (in the area of your new address if you have changed address) within 14 days of the change.

Renewal

Foreign nationals who will stay in Japan for a longer period must renew their Certificate of Alien Registration within 30 days of the renewal date, which is indicated on the card. The application process for renewal is the same as that of the initial registration.

Certificate on Registered Matters (Toroku Genpyo Kisai Jiko Shomei Sho)

The Certificate on Registered Matters is a document that proves the information on your Certificate of Alien Registration is true. It can be issued upon request. It is necessary when applying for scholarships, and you may also be asked to present it by the Immigration Bureau or by universities. Please make sure to take your Certificate of Alien Registration when you go to your city/ward office to receive a Certificate on Registered Matters.

Leaving Japan

You are required to return your Certificate of Alien Registration to an Immigration officer at the port of departure when you leave Japan, unless you have received a re-entry permit.
