A is a Japanese family registry. Japanese law requires all Japanese households (''ie'') to report births, acknowledgements of paternity, adoptions, disruptions of adoptions, deaths, marriages and divorces of Japanese citizens to their local authority, which compiles such records encompassing all Japanese citizens within their jurisdiction. Marriages, adoptions and acknowledgements of paternity become legally effective only when such events are recorded in the ''koseki''. Births and deaths become legally effective as they happen, but such events must be filed by family members. ==Format== A typical ''koseki'' has one page for the household's parents and their first two children: additional children are recorded on additional pages. Any changes to this information have to be sealed by an official registrar. The following items are recorded in the ''koseki''. (Law of Family Register, (戸籍法), article 13.) *family name and given name *date of birth *date of records and causes (marriage, death, adoption, etc.) *names of the father and the mother and the relation to them *if adopted, names of the adoptive father and mother *if married, whether the person is a husband or a wife *if transferred from another ''koseki'', the former ''koseki'' *registered residence ''honseki chi'' 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「koseki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
