Alien Registration

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。

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.)

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.)
