Certificate of Residence Code

On August 5, 2002, a resident registration code was assigned to the Certificate of Residence of all Japanese residents registered in the Basic Resident Registration for the purpose of utilizing personal identification information through the Basic Resident Registration Network System (Juki Net), and this was notified to each household by mail.
The Certificate of Residence code is an 11-digit number randomly assigned, and the system is organized based on this number. Additionally, the number can be changed, but it is not possible to specify a number or assign a previous number.

From July 8, 2013, regulations related to the Basic Resident Registration Network System (Juki Net) have been applied to foreign residents, and a Certificate of Residence code has been assigned to the Certificate of Residence of all foreign residents registered in the Basic Resident Registration (The Certificate of Residence code has been notified to each applicable household by mail through the "Certificate of Residence Code Notification Slip").
