For residence cards for children under the age of 16, it is important to pay attention to the validity period.
AKIRA YAMAMOTO.AKIRAResidence cards held by foreigners living in Japan have a validity period.
Normally, the expiration date of the residence period and the validity period of the residence card are the same.
However, in the case of a residence card for a child under 16 years of age, the expiration date of the residence period and the validity period of the residence card may differ.
This is related to the fact that residence cards for children under 16 years of age do not have a photograph, while residence cards for people 16 years of age or older do have a photograph.
If a child under 16 years old's period of stay expires after their 16th birthday, the validity of their residence card will be the day before their 16th birthday.
In this case, you must apply for permission to renew the validity of your residence card by the day before your child turns 16, and receive a residence card with your photo.
No processing fee is required when applying for permission to renew the validity of your residence card.
