Your child’s residency status will be that
of a dependent. Please go to the nearest Immigration
office to apply for residency status within 30 days
after the birth. The following documents are required
for the application: the child’s passport, the
certificate of acceptance of the birth notification,
as well as both passports and foreign registration
cards of the parents.
Even if you have not yet obtained a passport for
your child, please start with this procedure first,
and then a certificate for residency status will be
issued from the Immigration office.
I do not know how much time has passed since your
child was born, but if 30 days has passed due to some
reasons including the obtaining of a passport, you
will have to explain the relevant reasons for the
delay and apply for residency status. There is a possibility
that it will be accepted as a special case.
Furthermore, please apply for a foreign registration
card at your local ward office within 60 days of the
birth of the child. If you leave Japan within 60 days
of the birth of the child, it will not be necessary
for you to apply for residency status or for foreign
registration. Of course, this does not apply to you
in this case.
