All foreign nationals staying in Japan can take part in activities freely
and safely within the limitations of their status of residence and period
of stay determined at the time of their entry into Japan. To change your
status of residence or extend your period of stay, you must receive permission
from the immigration office.
All foreign nationals who plan to stay in Japan for 90 days or longer must
complete foreign resident registration procedures. Registrants will be
issued a Foreign Resident Registration Card. This will serve as an official
ID card for receiving various public services. The system also helps ensure
your safety and security while living in Japan. All foreign nationals who
are 16 or older are required to carry their Foreign Resident Registration
Cards with them at all times. To register, go to the Civic Affairs Division
of the City Office bringing your passport and two ID photos (4.5 cm×3.5
cm, taken within the past six months; shot from the front with head uncovered
and no background objects).
If there is any change in the information registered, you must file a notice
of the change with the City Office within 14 days.

If your spouse is a Japanese citizen, your marriage can also be registered at the place of his/her legal domicile (honsekichi). For further details, contact the City Office Civic Affairs Division.
If you divorce a Japanese national, you may file the form at the local
municipal office of either the Japanese spouse’s legal domicile or the
