was a system used to record information regarding aliens resident in Japan. It was handled at the municipal level, parallel to (but separately from) the koseki (family register) and juminhyo (resident register) systems used to record information regarding Japanese nationals. Foreigners staying in Japan for more than 90 days (excluding military personnel under a Status of forces agreement and diplomatic personnel) were required to register〔(Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan; A Guide to Japanese Visas XIII. Procedures After Entry into JapanAlien registration ) (Broken link)〕 within 90 days of landing in Japan.〔(Ministry of Justice; The Alien Registration Law (PROVISIONAL TRANSLATION) Article 3. )〕 The applicant was required to provide a completed application form, passport (for applicants 16 years old or older) and two identification photos. The system was voluntary for shorter-term visitors. Alien registration was a prerequisite to many activities in Japan, such as purchasing a mobile phone, opening a bank account or obtaining a driver's license. As described below, the alien registration system was replaced with a foreign residents' registration system on July 9, 2012. The new system of foreign resident registration was passed from the local municipal level to the national level.〔〔(Immigration Bureau booklet on new residency management system )〕〔(to the Basic Resident Registration Law — Internal Affairs Dep't )〕〔(Internal Affairs Department booklet on new resident registration system )〕 == Registered information == The information stored in the alien registration system included: * Date of registration * Name (including any legal alias) * Date of birth * Gender * Nationality and place of residence in home country * Place of birth * Employer/school, work/school address and occupation (if any) * Passport number and date of issuance * Date of landing in Japan * Status of residence and duration of stay * Residential address * Information regarding household members (including name, date of birth, nationality and relationship) * Information regarding parent(s) and/or spouse residing in Japan This information was recorded in a physical document called a , kept by the municipality in which the subject lived. Any changes in registered information had to be reported to the municipal office.〔(Legal Procedures for Your Residence in Japan: Alien Registration )〕 If a resident alien moved within Japan, they were required to report their move to the new municipality of residence, which then took possession of the ''tōroku genpyō''. The ''tōroku genpyō'' was closed when the alien left Japan without a re-entry permit, and was then kept in an archive at the Ministry of Justice. Any subsequent entry to Japan by the same person required a new registration which was kept on a new ''tōroku genpyō''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alien registration in Japan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
