How we translate a juminhyo
A juminhyo is a residence record: municipalities describe it as holding the registered address, the household and the head-of-household information, and residence records cover eligible foreign residents as well as Japanese nationals — Shinjuku City sets this out in English (foreign.city.shinjuku.lg.jp). Ask your municipal office for the complete version covering what the recipient wants to see, since copies can be issued with fields omitted. Our NAATI-certified Japanese translators reproduce the municipal form — address, householder, relationship to householder, date of registration and any previous address — convert Japanese era dates (令和, 平成, 昭和) to the Gregorian calendar with the original retained, and describe the municipal seal and issuing office. We translate the fields that are actually printed and do not fill in family or identity details by inference. My Number is reproduced only where it is printed and requested.
- 住民票の写し — certificate of residence, individual or full household
- 戸籍の附票 — address history attached to the koseki
- 除票 — removed residence record after moving out
- Japanese era dates converted with the original shown
- Pairs with our koseki translation for family evidence
