All foreigners that will reside in Japan for a period longer than 90 days have the obligation to arrange their “Alien Registration”. They should arrange this registration themselves. People under 16 years old should have the registration arranged by the father or mother of their household, or else by another person of their household who is older than 16.

※The Alien Registration Card is an important document describing the foreigner’s status and residence details. Please make sure to report all changes at all times! Apart from above notifications/applications regarding Alien Registration, there are also other applications, such as for re-issuing (in the case of damage or loss) or renewal (in the case of approaching expiry date) of the Alien Registration card.
※When you report a birth, marriage or death, please also make sure to report this at your local family register.
※When someone other than a family member of your household requests your “Certification of Information as Recorded on the Alien Registration File”, this person will need your handwritten Letter of Attorney.
※All of the above applications and notifications can be made at any city hall branch office too. Nevertheless, please kindly understand that at a branch office, issuing an Alien Registration Card or providing a “Certification of Information as Recorded on the Alien Registration File” may take some time.
