❓ FAQ
Can I get a Certificate of Residence at a convenience store?
If you have a My Number Card, you can get it 24 hours a day at convenience stores nationwide (7-Eleven, Lawson, FamilyMart, etc.). The fee is ¥100 cheaper than at the counter.
What is the difference between a certificate for the "entire household" and "only myself"?
The "entire household" certificate lists everyone living at the same address. "Only myself" lists just you. Use according to your needs (e.g., opening a bank account usually only requires "only myself").
Can I get my Family Register Certificate even if my registered domicile is not in Ota City?
Since March 2024, you can obtain a Family Register Certificate at any municipality nationwide (wide-area issuance system). However, convenience store issuance is only available at your registered domicile, so you must visit the counter to get it elsewhere.
Can I request a Certificate of Residence by mail?
Yes, you can request it by mail. Send the application form, a copy of your ID, a return envelope with stamp, and the fee (Fixed Amount Postal Money Order) to the Citizens' Affairs Division of Ota City Hall.
