Overseas Travel Notification
If you are traveling overseas (including personal travel), be sure to submit an "Overseas Travel Notification" to Student Division at least 14 days before your trip. If your stay is less than three months, don't forget to register with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' travel registration system, "Tabi-reji," and if your stay is more than three months, don't forget to submit a "Residence Notification."

Applying for a passport
There are two types of passports: 5-year passports and 10-year passports. People aged 18 or over can apply for either the 5-year passport or the 10-year passport. Passport applications are made at the passport application counter of the prefecture where you are registered as a resident. It usually takes about a week from application to receipt (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, national holidays, year-end and New Year holidays, etc.), so please check the receipt method at the application counter.
