The purpose of Alien Registration is to clarify matters regarding residence
and identification of foreign citizens as well as to regulate foreign citizens
in Japan in a fair manner.
外国人登録は、外国人の居住関係及び身分関係を明らかにして在留外国人の公正な管理をすることを目的としています。 |
Foreign citizens can complete alien registration procedures at their local
municipal offices.
外国人登録の手続きは、居住地の市町村役場で行っています。 |

1.Initial Registration
新規登録
|
Foreign citizens who will reside in Japan for over a certain period must complete Alien Registration. Applications must be filed in person. (Minors under age 16 must have their guardians apply for it in their stead.)
日本に一定期間以上在留する外国人の方は、外国人登録をしてください。申請は必ず本人がしてください。(16才未満の場合は16才以上の同居者が申請してください。) |
When the registration is completed, a Certificate of Alien Registration
will be issued to the registrant. (The Certificate of Alien Registration
for applicants under the age of 16 is two folded sheets of paper, while
those for the registrants 16 years or older are plastic cards.) Plastic
cards are prepared at the local Immigration Bureau and issued at a later
date.
外国人登録の手続きの後は、外国人登録証明書(16才以上の方にはカード型、16才未満の方には2つ折り用紙型)をお渡しします。なお、カード型の外国人登録証明書は、地方入国管理局で作成しますので、お渡しは後日になります。 |
