At city hall, state the administrative task before presenting a stack of documents: 住所の届出をしたいです (“I would like to submit an address notification”). Show your current address and status documents when requested, ask which form and counter apply, and repeat the official next step. Eligibility, deadlines, and documents must come from the municipality and current government guidance.

Name the procedure before the documents
Leo places every document he owns on the information desk without naming the task.
LeoI was told to come here.
The staff member asks whether he moved into the city or moved within it.
Staff転入ですか、転居ですか。
Moving into the city, or moving within it?
Leo shows the new address and states the specific task.
Leo転入です。住所の届出をしたいです。
I moved into the city. I would like to register my address.
He repeats the form, required document, and counter number.
Leoこの用紙を書いて、五番窓口ですね。
I fill in this form and go to counter five, right?

Identify the address procedure
| Japanese | Romaji | Meaning | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
住所の届出をしたいです | jūsho no todokede o shitai desu | I would like to submit an address notification | General opening |
この市に引っ越してきました | kono shi ni hikkoshite kimashita | I moved into this city | Clarify moving in |
市内で引っ越しました | shinai de hikkoshimashita | I moved within the city | Clarify an internal move |
来月、転出します | raigetsu, tenshutsu shimasu | I will move out next month | Clarify moving out |
The English idea “register my address” can correspond to different forms. Give the old municipality, new municipality, and move date so staff can identify the workflow.
Ask which documents and form are required
| Japanese | Romaji | Meaning | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
必要な書類は何ですか | hitsuyō na shorui wa nan desu ka | Which documents are required? | Ask the responsible office |
在留カードはこちらです | zairyū kādo wa kochira desu | Here is my residence card | Present it when requested |
この書類の原本が必要ですか | kono shorui no genpon ga hitsuyō desu ka | Is the original of this document required? | Distinguish original and copy |
どの用紙に書けばいいですか | dono yōshi ni kakeba ii desu ka | Which form should I complete? | Identify the form |
Do not use a checklist from another municipality as proof. Family relationship, proxy, residence status, and move circumstances may affect the requested documents.
Confirm the counter and sequence
| Japanese | Romaji | Meaning | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
受付は何番窓口ですか | uketsuke wa nanban madoguchi desu ka | Which counter is reception? | Find the correct counter |
次は何番窓口ですか | tsugi wa nanban madoguchi desu ka | Which counter is next? | Confirm the next office |
先にこの用紙を書いてください | saki ni kono yōshi o kaite kudasai | Please complete this form first | A sequence instruction |
番号を呼ぶまで待ってください | bangō o yobu made matte kudasai | Please wait until your number is called | A waiting instruction |
Check missing information and completion
| Japanese | Romaji | Meaning | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
何が足りませんか | nani ga tarimasen ka | What is missing? | Ask about an incomplete submission |
いつまでに持ってくればいいですか | itsu made ni motte kureba ii desu ka | By when should I bring it? | Confirm a current deadline |
今日の手続きは終わりましたか | kyō no tetsuzuki wa owarimashita ka | Is today's procedure complete? | Confirm completion |
控えはもらえますか | hikae wa moraemasu ka | Can I receive a copy? | Identify evidence to keep |
Verify the address procedure with the municipality
The Immigration Services Agency publishes the current procedure index, including separate guidance for a new place of residence and a change of residence. These pages cover specified immigration procedures; the municipality controls its local counter flow. Verify which rule applies to you, the deadline, documents, proxy rules, and hours with the responsible offices.
Complete the address-registration counter sequence
- Name the exact move type and date.
- Ask the current office which documents and form apply.
- Repeat the counter sequence and missing item.
- Confirm completion and keep any issued record.
Continue from address registration to forms and certificates
Address registration often leads to another form or a request for a certificate, but each is a separate task. Practice the field-by-field repair language, then learn how to request the intended residence-certificate copy.
