(2)Electronic application/notification system
An “electronic application/notification system” is a system that receives
applications and notifications made to administrative bodies of national or
local governments from home or office computers via the Internet. Since
this system makes it possible to obtain the application forms required for
certain procedures via the Internet, these procedures can be carried out at
the user’s convenience at any time of day or night and without making a
special trip to the office of the administrative body.
The system can be used by individuals mainly to request the issue of documents such as copies of resident cards, copies of attachments to family
registers, and seal registration certificates. However, the services available
vary depending on the municipality.
