Ward office

Ward offices not only accept your alien registration but also provide you most of familiar services for daily life such as family registration, pension and taxes. In addition, they’ve been advancing regional comprehensive public administrations as well as administrative services over the counter, closely working with branch offices which oversee the region, such as civil engineering office, waste collection office and park construction and maintenance office, and also with related administrative agencies.
　Each ward has some ward residents centers (branches) which provide a part of services of the ward office. Since the services provided by the ward resident centers (branches)are different depending on the branches, we recommend you to check it at each ward office in advance.
