In Japan, there are various occasions you should use a seal (\u201cinkan\u201d). A seal is required when you rent a room, make a bank book, buy a car, and go through procedures at the governmental office and\/or at work. As you can see, Japan is \u201cSociety of Seal\u201d.<\/p>\n
Especially, a registered seal is very important and you should register your seal very carefully.<\/p>\n
Anyone who is 15 of age and older and registered as a citizen of Kakegawa City<\/p>\n
You must order your own seal (\u201cinkan\u201d) at a special \u201cinkan\u201d shop. A seal which is mass produced such as ones being sold at 100 shops cannot be registered because there are some cases where you seal is used for bad ends and, even worse, your property gets stolen.
\nWhen you order your seal, use characters shown on your residence registry (\u201cJumin-hyo\u201d) as your name. A seal can be made with your alphabetized name if it is registered on the residence registry.
\nYou can use characters (Kanji, Hiragana, or Katakana) of your commonly used name for your own seal ONLY IF it is registered.
\nWhen you order your own seal, please make sure to include both your family name and given name. Your name on a seal cannot be abbreviated.
\nSince it costs thousands or even ten thousands, it is recommended that you visit the city hall and ask its advice for ordering your own seal.<\/p>\n
The seal registration can be accepted at the City Hall (Counter #2 at public affair division), Daito Branch, and\/or Osuka Branch. Please make sure that a registrant come and apply for the seal registration in person.<\/p>\n
