      (3) Copy of Identification<\/h3>\n

      Please note that, to protect your personal information, some form of identification is required to confirm the identity of the person requesting the certificates. The copy provided to us is used solely to confirm your identity and is not used for any purpose other than the issuance of certificates.<\/p>\n

      \u25cbSince the implementation of the \u201cMy Number\u201d system in Japan, some official documents have been printed with this number. Please submit a form of identification that does not display your number. If you wish to submit identification which includes your \u201cMy Number\u201d, please ensure that you conceal the number (i.e., mask it) before sending us a copy of the document.<\/u><\/p>\n

      Please ensure that there is no deficiency or excess in the fee payment. (Please note that the bank charges should be paid by the applicant.)<\/p>\n

      Certificates cannot be issued if the payment is insufficient or unconfirmed; therefore, if you are in a hurry, choose a guaranteed mode of payment.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. When a third party requests certificates by proxy, a letter of attorney written by the applicant and photocopies of a form of identification of both the applicant and the third party are required. To ensure the protection of personal information, certificates cannot be issued without the letter of attorney.<\/li>\n
      2. Those living in a foreign country should apply for certificates through a third party living in Japan. If you cannot find a third party, please contact the appropriate department below.<\/li>\n
