Working and Studying in Japan: Certificate of alien registration

If you're on holiday, working or studying, if your stay in Japan is over three months, you must apply for a certificate of alien registration from the local government office closest to the area in which you live. This small identification card includes your photograph and must be carried at all times; if you're stopped by the police on the street (even for innocuous activities such as riding a bike late at night through the city), you'll have to produce this card, or your passport. If you have neither, expect a trip to the local police station to do some explaining.
