▶Seal Registration (English, easy Japanese): Word / PDF
In Japan, Personal Seals (印鑑=判子, inkan=hanko) are used as proof of agreement or approval, like a signature. A Personal Seal is used for real-estate registration, vehicle registration, and other very important documents. Seal Registration is necessary to prove that your Personal Seal belongs to you. Kasama city residents can register their Personal Seal at the Kasama City Hall. In this case, you receive your Personal Seal Registration Card (印鑑登録証, inkan torokusho).
！Your Personal Seal must reflect the name written on your Residence Certificate (住民票, juminhyo)
