Q&A (Naturalization)
Frequently Asked Questions (Naturalization)
To naturalize in Japan, a foreign national must satisfy all the requirements set forth in the Japanese Nationality Act.
However, the actual screening process for a naturalization application goes beyond merely confirming compliance with the Nationality Act. Many other aspects concerning the applicant are also carefully examined. If, based on this thorough screening, the Minister of Justice determines that the foreign national is not suitable for naturalization, the application will be denied.
Therefore, we would like to provide specific, necessary information regarding naturalization in this Q&A format. Please read these pages and use them as a helpful reference when preparing your naturalization application.
