Frequently Asked Questions (Notification of Family Register and Certification)

QuestionWho is the head of the family register?

Response

This is the person recorded at the beginning of the family register. In principle, a new family register is created for the couple at the time of marriage, and if the husband's name is chosen, he becomes the primary registrant, while if the wife's name is chosen, she becomes the primary registrant. Additionally, even if the primary registrant passes away, it does not change like the head of the household on the Certificate of Residence.
