Measures to Prevent Certificate Alteration
The certificates you can acquire from the convenience store issuance service vary from the certificate paper acquired at the ward offices. They use normal, A4-size paper and are printed with anti-alteration and counterfeiting measures.
Copies of Residence Certificates
The convenience store issuance service does not support copies of residence certificates that list the residence certificate code. Visit your local Ward Office's Citizens Affairs Division or branch office.
Furthermore, law dictates that copies of residence certificates that list an Individual Number must only be submitted to government agencies or regional public organizations that carry out procedures for social insurance, tax, or disaster countermeasure. Do not submit such copies to anywhere else.
Acquiring Certificates in the Event of a Family Register Notifications or Changes in Residence
If there has been a notification for the family register, such as a death, birth, or marriage, or a change of residence for your household members, the information for this said change is not immediately reflected in the convenience store issuance service system. Therefore, if you want to acquire a certificate soon after performing the change procedure, inquire with your local Ward Office's Citizens Affairs Division or branch office first.
If You Forgot Your PIN
The PIN you set for the electronic certificate for user identification of your Individual Number Card becomes invalid if you input an incorrect PIN three times in a row. If this occurs, you must reset your PIN at your local Ward Office's Citizens Affairs Division or branch office.
Acquiring Certificates for People Whose Family Register Has Not Been Computerized
The convenience store issuance service does not support family register certificates or copies of a supplementary family register for persons who have not computerized their family register, such as due to the characters used in their family name. Visit your local Ward Office's Citizens Affairs Division or branch office.
Acquiring Certificates at the Ward Office's Citizens Affairs Division or Branch Office
You can acquire certificates at the Ward Office's Citizens Affairs Division or branch office following the same procedure as in the past. To acquire a seal registration certificate, please bring your seal registration card.
