Name that Document
Japan’s bureaucracy loves trees. So much so that they want to see as much of them as they can. For you that means when ever you have need or reason to visit those big or small grey buildings bring as much paper as possible.
In simple terms - Before applying for anything in Japan get your paperwork in order. Here a few of the most popular ones that you may need. I’ve put them in Romaji for easier reading.
Tax Certificate - Gensen choushu
Work Certificate - Zaishoku shomei
Family Register - Koseki touhon
Residence Certificate - Jyuminhyo
Letter of Guarantee - Mimotohoshousho
Gaijin register certificate - Toroku genpyo kisaijiko shomeisho
(As always remember. YMMV - Your mileage may vary)
