how to get a japanese passport

Of course, I'd be happy to assist. Keep in mind though, you must be a Japanese citizen to apply. The process involves the following steps: completing an application form, providing proof of identity and citizenship, bringing along a passport-sized photo, and paying the application fee.

Commonly accepted identity proof are a valid driver's license, a Student ID, or any Government-issued identification card. For proof of citizenship, a Birth Certificate, a Japanese Family Register (Kouseki), or a Certificate of Japanese National would suffice.

In Japan, you would apply at your local municipal office where your permanent address is registered. If overseas, you can apply at a Japanese Embassy or Consulate.

The fee varies depending on the duration of validity you opt for. A 5-year passport for adults costs around 11,000 yen, 10-year passport is about 16,000 yen. For minors, a 5-year passport is roughly 6000 yen. Please check respective authorities or agencies for the most accurate and recent fees.
