City administration-related procedures
If you move into or within Shibuya City, you must register your change of address for your certificate of alien registration and NHI certificate within 14 days of the move.
When your children change schools, notify the school they are attending about the transfer and receive an enrollment certificate and textbook allowance certificate. Complete foreign registration procedures at your new address, then take your certificate of alien registration and the aforementioned documentation and report to the Board of Education of your new location. A change of address notification will be required even if the children will not be changing schools.
