You are moving to a new apartment in Japan. You know you need to go to city hall, but when you get there, the signage says 住民異動届（じゅうみんいどうとどけ）. The clerk hands you a form titled 転入届（てんにゅうとどけ）. Someone in the queue mentions they just submitted their 転出届（てんしゅつとどけ）before leaving their old city. And a neighbour later tells you that because they only moved across town, they only needed a 転居届（てんきょとどけ）. Four different forms — and all of them involve moving house. What is the difference?
Japan’s resident registration system (住民基本台帳（じゅうみんきほんだいちょう）) requires everyone — Japanese nationals and foreign residents alike — to notify their local municipality whenever their address changes. Miss the deadline, fill in the wrong form, or forget to bring the right documents, and you can end up with fines, delayed benefits, or a gap in your official resident record. This guide explains every form clearly, step by step, so you know exactly what to do and when.
Below is a quick-reference table covering all four key terms, followed by a full explanation of each one.
| Japanese | Reading | Core Meaning | When to Submit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 転出届 | てんしゅつとどけ | Moving-out notification | Before leaving your current municipality |
| 転入届 | てんにゅうとどけ | Moving-in notification | Within 14 days of arriving in your new municipality |
| 転居届 | てんきょとどけ | Address change (same municipality) | Within 14 days of moving within the same city/ward/town |
| 住民異動届 | じゅうみんいどうとどけ | Resident record change (umbrella term) | Used by many municipalities as the single form covering all three of the above |
Quick Answer: 転出届 vs 転入届 vs 転居届 vs 住民異動届
転出届 — moving out of your current municipality
転出届（てんしゅつとどけ）is the notification you submit to your current city hall, ward office, or town hall before you move to a different municipality. It tells the local government: “I am leaving.” Submitting it generates a 転出証明書（てんしゅつしょうめいしょ）— a moving-out certificate — which you then bring to your new municipality when you register there.
転入届 — moving in to a new municipality
転入届（てんにゅうとどけ）is the notification you submit to your new city hall after you move in from a different municipality. It tells the local government: “I have arrived.” You must submit it within 14 days of moving in, and you must do so in person — this one cannot be done online.
転居届 — moving within the same municipality
転居届（てんきょとどけ）is the notification used when you move to a new address but stay within the same municipality. If you are moving from one apartment in Shinjuku-ku to another apartment still in Shinjuku-ku, you only need a 転居届. There is no 転出届 or 転入届 involved because your resident record stays within the same office.
住民異動届 — the umbrella form used at many city halls
住民異動届（じゅうみんいどうとどけ）is not a different procedure — it is a form name used by many municipalities that combines all three types of notifications into a single paper form. You check a box to indicate whether you are doing a 転入, 転出, or 転居. If the form at your local city hall says 住民異動届, do not be confused: it is simply the local name for the same process.
What Does 転出届 Mean?
転出届 as a moving-out notification
転出（てんしゅつ）combines 転（てん）meaning “to transfer / change” and 出（しゅつ）meaning “to leave / go out.” 届（とどけ）means “notification” or “report.” Together: a formal notification that you are leaving. You submit it to the city hall of your current registered address — your old city, ward, or town — before you move out.
旧住所の市区町村へ提出（Submit at your old address’s city hall）
This is the step most newcomers miss. The 転出届 goes to your old government office — not your new one. You need to go (or apply online) before or shortly after your moving day. In practice, many people submit it about one to two weeks before their move date.
転出証明書の受け取り（Receiving your moving-out certificate）
When you submit your 転出届 at a physical city hall window, the office issues a 転出証明書（てんしゅつしょうめいしょ）on the spot. Keep this document safe — you will need to hand it in at your new city hall when you submit your 転入届. If you have a マイナンバーカード（My Number Card）, you can skip the paper certificate entirely (more on this below).
オンライン転出届（Online moving-out notification via マイナポータル）
As of 2023, it is possible to submit your 転出届 online through the government app マイナポータル, provided you have a マイナンバーカード and a compatible smartphone or IC card reader. This means you do not have to visit your old city hall in person before you move. However, the 転入届 still requires an in-person visit to your new city hall — the online option only covers the 転出 side.
国外転出届（Notification of leaving Japan）
If you are leaving Japan entirely — either as a Japanese national moving abroad or as a foreign resident whose residence permit has ended — you submit a 国外転出届（こくがいてんしゅつとどけ）. This removes you from the住民基本台帳 entirely. Foreign residents who leave Japan permanently must also return their 在留カード（ざいりゅうカード）to immigration at the airport.
Example sentences
来週引っ越すので、今日市役所に転出届を出してきました。
（I’m moving next week, so I submitted my moving-out notification at city hall today.）
転出届を出したら、転出証明書をもらってください。引越し先の市区町村で必要です。
（After you submit your moving-out notification, make sure to receive the moving-out certificate. You will need it at your new municipality.）
マイナポータルを使えば、転出届をオンラインで申請できます。
（If you use the マイナポータル app, you can apply for your moving-out notification online.）
YukaI submitted my 転出届 online with マイナポータル, but I was surprised that I still had to go to the new city hall in person for the 転入届. Make sure you do not assume the whole process is online!
What Does 転入届 Mean?
転入届 as a moving-in notification
転入（てんにゅう）combines 転（てん）”to transfer” and 入（にゅう）”to enter.” You are registering your arrival in a new place. The 転入届 goes to your new city hall — the municipality of your new address — and it must be submitted within 14 days of your move-in date. Submitting late can result in a fine of up to 50,000 yen under the Juminhyo Act.
新住所の市区町村へ提出（Submit at your new address’s city hall）
Bring yourself — and the right documents — to your new city hall, ward office, or town hall in person. The 転入届 cannot be submitted by post or online. The office will update your 住民票（じゅうみんひょう）, your official resident register record, to reflect your new address.
転入後14日以内（Within 14 days of moving in）
The 14-day deadline runs from the day you physically moved in — not the day your lease started or the day your furniture arrived. If your moving day was June 1, you have until June 15 to submit your 転入届. Do not wait until the last minute: busy periods such as late March and April (the peak Japanese moving season) mean long queues at city hall.
転出証明書またはマイナンバーカード持参（What to bring）
You will need to bring one of the following:
- 転出証明書（てんしゅつしょうめいしょ）issued by your old city hall — bring the paper certificate
- マイナンバーカード — if you applied for online 転出 via マイナポータル, or if your card has the 転出 information embedded, you can present the card directly and skip the paper certificate
- Your 本人確認書類（ほんにんかくにんしょるい）— photo ID, usually your My Number Card, driver’s licence, or passport
来庁が必要（In-person visit is required）
Unlike 転出届, the 転入届 cannot be done online as of 2026. You must appear at the window in person, or send a proxy (代理人（だいりにん）) with a 委任状（いにんじょう）— a letter of authorization — and their own photo ID. If you send a proxy, the city hall may still request you to appear later for identity confirmation in some municipalities.
外国人住民の在留カード住所変更（Foreign residents: residence card address update）
If you are a foreign resident in Japan, moving to a new municipality means you also need to update the address on your 在留カード（ざいりゅうカード）at the same city hall visit. The city hall will stamp your new address on the back of your card. This address update is legally separate from the 転入届, but in practice the clerks handle both at the same window at the same time. The deadline is the same: within 14 days of moving in. Failing to update your 在留カード address is a violation of the Immigration Control Act and can result in a fine.
Example sentences
新しいアパートに引っ越してから14日以内に、市区町村の窓口で転入届を提出してください。
（Please submit your moving-in notification at the city hall counter within 14 days of moving into your new apartment.）
転入届を出す際には、転出証明書またはマイナンバーカードを持参してください。
（When submitting your moving-in notification, please bring your moving-out certificate or your My Number Card.）
外国人住民は転入届の手続きと同時に、在留カードの住所変更も行えます。
（Foreign residents can also update their residence card address at the same time as submitting their moving-in notification.）
ReiWhen I moved to Osaka, I brought my 転出証明書 from Tokyo and submitted my 転入届 at Osaka City Hall. The clerk updated my 在留カード address right there at the same window — I did not need to queue separately. Very convenient!
What Does 転居届 Mean?
転居届 as an address change within the same municipality
転居（てんきょ）combines 転（てん）”to transfer” and 居（きょ）”residence / dwelling.” Unlike 転出 and 転入, which involve crossing a municipal boundary, 転居 stays within one municipality. If you move from Shibuya 1-chome to Shibuya 3-chome within Shibuya-ku, or from one neighbourhood to another in the same city, you only need a 転居届. No 転出証明書 is issued and no separate 転入届 is required.
同じ市区町村内の引越し（Moving within the same city/ward/town）
Japan’s basic administrative units are:
- 市（し）— city
- 区（く）— ward (inside designated cities like Tokyo’s 23 special wards)
- 町（まち/ちょう）— town
- 村（むら/そん）— village
Moving within any one of these units = 転居届. Moving between them = 転出届 + 転入届.
転居後14日以内（Within 14 days of the address change）
The same 14-day deadline applies to 転居届. Submit it at your municipality’s city hall, ward office, or branch office within 14 days of your actual move date.
マイナンバーカードの住所変更も同時に（update your My Number Card address at the same time）
Whenever you change your registered address — whether via 転居届 or 転入届 — bring your マイナンバーカード. The city hall will either stamp or update the address on the back of the card. Keeping your My Number Card address outdated can cause problems with tax filings, benefit applications, and other official procedures.
Example sentences
同じ区内で引っ越したので、転出届や転入届は不要で、転居届だけ出せばよかったです。
（Because I moved within the same ward, I did not need a moving-out or moving-in notification — just an address change form was enough.）
転居届は引っ越してから14日以内に、現在の市区町村の窓口に提出してください。
（Please submit your address change notification within 14 days of moving, at the counter of your current municipality.）
転居届を出す際は、マイナンバーカードを持参すると、住所変更を同時に手続きできます。
（If you bring your My Number Card when submitting your address change form, you can update its address at the same time.）
What Does 住民異動届 Mean?
住民異動届 as the umbrella form name
住民異動届（じゅうみんいどうとどけ）breaks down as: 住民（じゅうみん）”resident” + 異動（いどう）”change / transfer” + 届（とどけ）”notification.” It literally means “notification of a change in residency.” Many city halls use this as the title of a single multi-purpose form that covers 転入, 転出, and 転居 all in one document. You simply check the box that applies to your situation.
転入・転出・転居を含む（One form, three procedures）
A typical 住民異動届 form has tick boxes such as:
- ▢ 転入（てんにゅう）— moving in from another municipality
- ▢ 転出（てんしゅつ）— moving out to another municipality
- ▢ 転居（てんきょ）— moving within this municipality
- ▢ 世帯変更（せたいへんこう）— change in household composition
The clerk will direct you to tick the correct box. This is why it can be confusing when you arrive at city hall — the form name says 住民異動届, but you are really doing a 転入届 procedure.
自治体によって名称が異なる場合（Municipality name variations）
Not all city halls call the form 住民異動届. Some use simply 転入届, 転出届, or 転居届 as separate form names. A few larger city hall systems have the form on their website as 住民異動に関する届出（じゅうみんいどうにかんするとどけで）. Do not be alarmed if the form name differs slightly — the underlying legal procedure is the same across all municipalities in Japan.
世帯変更届も含む（Household change notifications）
The 住民異動届 often also covers 世帯変更届（せたいへんこうとどけ）— used when you change the composition of your household without moving address. Examples include a new baby, a household separation after a divorce, or a marriage where both partners move into one address. This is different from the address change forms but is processed at the same window.
住民票の異動（What “moving your juminhyo” means）
When Japanese people say 住民票を移す（じゅうみんひょうをうつす）— “move your juminhyo” — they mean updating your official resident register record by submitting whichever of these forms applies. It is a colloquial way of saying “complete your city hall address change paperwork.” Your 住民票（じゅうみんひょう）is the individual record that records your name, date of birth, address, nationality (for foreign residents), and household data. Keeping it current is legally required.
転出届 vs 転入届
Leaving your old municipality vs entering your new municipality
These two forms are a pair — when you move between municipalities, you need both. Think of them as “check out” and “check in.” The 転出届 closes your registration at the old city hall. The 転入届 opens your registration at the new one.
Side-by-side comparison
| 転出届（てんしゅつとどけ） | 転入届（てんにゅうとどけ） | |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Moving-out notification | Moving-in notification |
| Submit to | Your OLD municipality’s city hall | Your NEW municipality’s city hall |
| When | Before or around your move date | Within 14 days of your move-in date |
| Can be done online? | Yes (via マイナポータル with My Number Card) | No — in-person visit required |
| Document issued | 転出証明書（required for 転入届 unless using My Number Card） | Updated 住民票（resident register） |
| Who is present | You (or proxy with 委任状) at old city hall | You (or proxy) at new city hall |
| Foreign residents extra step | No separate step at old city hall | update 在留カード address at same window |
Step-by-step moving sequence
Here is the standard sequence when moving between municipalities in Japan:
- Submit 転出届 at your old city hall (either in person, or online via マイナポータル) → receive 転出証明書 (if in person)
- Move to your new address
- Submit 転入届 at your new city hall — in person, within 14 days — and hand in your 転出証明書 (or present マイナンバーカード)
- update your 在留カード address (foreign residents) at the same window
- Handle related procedures: 国民健康保険, マイナンバーカード address stamp, 印鑑登録, utilities, bank, driver’s licence
転出証明書の流れ（The moving-out certificate flow）
If you submitted your 転出届 in person (not online), the clerk immediately issues your 転出証明書. This single sheet of paper is your proof that you have deregistered from your old address. It typically has your name, old address, new address (if known), and an official stamp. When you arrive at your new city hall for 転入届, you hand this over and it is retained by the office — do not lose it before then.
If you used マイナポータル for an online 転出届, the data is transferred electronically, and you present your マイナンバーカード at your new city hall instead of a paper certificate. This is more convenient, but you must have applied for the online 転出 before arriving — you cannot do it at the new city hall window.
YukaOne thing that tripped me up: I did the online 転出届 and thought everything was done. But I still had to physically go to the new city hall within 14 days for the 転入届. The online process only saves you a trip to the old city hall — the new city hall visit is always required.
転入届 vs 転居届
Different municipality vs same municipality
The key question to ask yourself is: Am I crossing a municipal boundary?
- Moving from Tokyo (Shinjuku-ku) to Osaka (Namba area) = 転入届 (different municipalities)
- Moving from Shinjuku 1-chome to Shinjuku 5-chome within Shinjuku-ku = 転居届 (same municipality)
- Moving from Shinjuku-ku to Shibuya-ku = 転入届 (different wards = different municipalities)
Side-by-side comparison
| 転入届（てんにゅうとどけ） | 転居届（てんきょとどけ） | |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Moving in from another municipality | Address change within same municipality |
| Moving between municipalities? | Yes | No |
| 転出届 required first? | Yes — submit at old city hall before moving | No |
| 転出証明書 needed? | Yes (or マイナンバーカード) | No |
| Which city hall? | Your new municipality’s city hall | Your current (unchanged) municipality’s city hall |
| Deadline | 14 days from moving in | 14 days from moving |
| Online option? | No — in-person only | No — in-person only |
| What to bring | 転出証明書 or My Number Card, photo ID | Photo ID, My Number Card (for address stamp) |
Moving Procedures: What Else Changes When You Move?
国民健康保険の手続き（National Health Insurance transfer）
If you are enrolled in 国民健康保険（こくみんけんこうほけん）— National Health Insurance — you must withdraw from your old municipality’s scheme and re-enroll in your new municipality’s scheme. This is handled at the same city hall visit as your 転入届. Bring your old 国民健康保険証（health insurance card）if you have it. Failing to re-enroll can leave you uninsured and responsible for full medical costs.
マイナンバーカードの住所変更（Updating your My Number Card）
Your マイナンバーカード stores your address information. After a 転入届 or 転居届, the city hall clerk will stamp the new address on the back of the card. In some municipalities, if the card is already full of old address stamps, they will issue a new sticker. You do not get a new card — just the address update. Keeping your My Number Card address current is important for using the card as an ID and for マイナポータル services.
在留カードの住所変更（Foreign residents: residence card）
Foreign residents on medium-to-long-term visa statuses must update the address on their 在留カード（ざいりゅうカード）within 14 days of moving. The city hall handles this at the same window as the 転入届 or 転居届. Bring your 在留カード. The clerk will stamp the new address on the back. Note: short-term visitors and those on some special statuses may have different rules — check your visa type if unsure.
印鑑登録の廃止と再登録（Registered personal seal: cancellation and re-registration）
If you have a 印鑑登録（いんかんとうろく）— a registered personal seal (hanko) — at your old municipality, it is automatically cancelled when you submit your 転出届. You will need to re-register your seal at your new municipality after completing your 転入届. Bring your hanko and photo ID to the same window. This is commonly needed for real estate contracts, bank accounts, and official agreements.
その他の住所変更（Other address updates to make）
City hall handles the official resident record, but many other organisations also need to know your new address. Make a checklist:
- 運転免許証（うんてんめんきょしょう）— driver’s licence: update at the police station or licence centre
- 銀行（ぎんこう）— bank accounts: update online or at a branch
- 勤務先（きんむさき）— employer: notify HR for payroll and tax documents
- 郵便転送（ゆうびんてんそう）— Japan Post mail forwarding: submit a 転居届 (same word, different usage — Japan Post has its own form at the post office)
- NHK: notify via their website or the NHK fee collector
- クレジットカード・保険 — credit cards, insurance policies: update individually online or by phone
Common Mistakes English Speakers Make
Submitting 転居届 when 転入届 is needed
This is the most common error. Some learners hear “転居届 = moving form” and try to submit it even when moving between cities or wards. If you are crossing a municipal boundary, you need the full 転出届 + 転入届 sequence, not a 転居届. The city hall clerk will catch this, but it is faster — and less embarrassing — to know in advance.
Forgetting to submit 転出届 before moving
Some people move out, set up their new life, and only then realise they never told their old city hall. Without a 転出届, you cannot properly submit a 転入届 (unless using the マイナンバーカード route). If you have already moved, go back — or apply via マイナポータル — as soon as possible. Late submission is better than none.
Thinking online 転出 means everything is done
The マイナポータル online 転出 option is a huge convenience, but it only covers one half of the process. The 転入届 still requires a physical visit to your new city hall. Many first-time movers celebrate after clicking “submit” online and then miss the 14-day deadline for the in-person 転入 step.
Forgetting to update the 在留カード address
Foreign residents often focus on the 転入届 paperwork and forget that updating the address on the 在留カード is a separate legal obligation — with the same 14-day deadline. Even though the city hall handles both at the same visit, you need to explicitly mention your 在留カード at the window and present it. Do not leave the city hall without having the back of your card stamped.
Forgetting 国民健康保険 procedures
National Health Insurance does not automatically transfer between municipalities. If you are on 国民健康保険, you must actively withdraw from your old scheme and enrol in your new one. The window for this is often at the same floor of city hall as the address registration. Forgetting this can leave you without valid insurance and facing back-payments.
Confusing your registered address and your actual mailing address
In Japan, your 住民票の住所（じゅうみんひょうのじゅうしょ）— the address on your resident register — is your legal address for tax, insurance, voting, and official correspondence. It is not the same as the address you write on a parcel. Many people live at one address but have their resident register at their parents’ home in another city. This is legally allowed for students and some workers, but it can complicate benefit entitlements, voting, and health insurance.
ReiI once forgot to update my 在留カード at city hall — I submitted my 転入届 but rushed out without asking for the address stamp. I had to go back the next day. Always double-check before leaving the counter that your 在留カード has been stamped if you are a foreign resident.
Decision Rule: Which Moving Form Do You Need?
Key questions to ask yourself
Before you head to city hall, run through this checklist:
- Are you moving to a different municipality (different city, ward, town, or village)? → You need both 転出届 (at old city hall) and 転入届 (at new city hall).
- Are you moving within the same municipality? → You only need a 転居届 at your current city hall.
- Does the form at your city hall say 住民異動届? → That is the same thing — just check the box for 転入, 転出, or 転居 as appropriate.
- Are you leaving Japan permanently? → Submit a 国外転出届.
- Are you a foreign resident moving between municipalities? → Do 転入届 + 在留カード address update at the new city hall.
- Do you have a My Number Card? → Bring it — it enables online 転出 and streamlines the 転入 process.
