Notification of transference OK to postal mail The government requests local government to prevent spread of infection March 30 4:41

During the relocation period, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is requesting local governments nationwide to respond flexibly, such as by accepting mails from residents, to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.

At the time of moving due to relocation or admission, the window of each local government is usually crowded with people who submit transfer notices and transfer notices, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has decided to prevent nationwide spread of the new coronavirus infection. We are urging local governments to be flexible.

Of these, the person who does not have a My Number card must submit the notice of transference directly to the local government in principle, but for the time being, it is desirable to accept it by mail.

In addition, we do not change the requirement to submit a transfer notice to the counter for identification purposes, but we are requesting that it be accepted after the deadline of 14 days from the date of moving.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications says, "I want to have as many local governments as possible."
