| SECOND HAND |
| |
In correlation with Japanese law, no vehicle can drive on public roads without being registered with the local authorities. In order to do so, an application needs to be lodged with the local police station, and the local Transport Department by the owner of the vehicle, or through a proxy. LeaseJapan can, with your permission, lodge this application on your behalf for a small fee.
|
|
| How long does this process take? |
|
The process to register a vehicle changes case-by-case, but should take around 5 working days to do so after receiving all of the necessary documentation. |
|
| What documentation do I need? |
|
| Firstly, check you have the following. Under Japanese law, documents marked with an asterisk should be kept in the vehicle log book inside the car. The Japanese name for each is in parenthesis. |
|
| 1. |
Vehicle Road Worthiness Test Certificate* (車検書 / sha-ken-sho) |
| 2. |
Mandatory Vehicle Insurance Certificate* (自動車損害賠償責任保険証明書 / ji-dou-sha-son-gai-bai-shou-seki-nin-ho-ken-shou-mei-sho) |
| 3. |
Vehicle Weight Tax Payment Certificate（重量税納付書 / jyuu-ryou-zei-nou-fu-sho） |
|
|
| If your purchased vehicle comes with no number plate (i.e no Road Worthiness Test) you will be required to submit the following in exchange for the above: |
|
| 1. |
Certificate of Cancellation of Registration (抹消登録証明書 / mas-shou-tou-roku-shou-mei-sho） |
|
|
| You will then be required to obtain the following pieces of documentation from the necessary parties. Again, Japanese names are in parenthesis. |
|
| 1. |
Proof of Address - Registered copy of Alien Registration (記載事項証明書 / ki-sai-ji-kou-shou-mei-sho) |
| 2. |
'Parking Consent Form' (保管場所使用承諾証明書 / ho-ken-ba-sho-shi-you-shou-daku-shou-mei-sho) |
| 3. |
Seal Certification (印鑑証明書 / in-kan-shou-mei-sho) |
| 4. |
Certificate of Transfer (譲渡証明書 / jou-to-shou-mei-sho) |
|
|
| If your vehicle has been imported into Japan you will be required to submit all of the above, plus: |
|
| 1. |
Customs Clearance Certificate (自動車通関証明書 / ji-dou-sha-tsuu-kan-shou-mei-sho) |
|
|
| I don’t know where to get all of these documents. Can you help? |
|
The 'Parking Consent' form can be obtained from the management company of your house/apartment. On purchasing your vehicle you will receive the Certificate of Transfer from the other party involved. All other documentation can be obtained from your local City/Ward office for a small fee. |
| NB: All Certification documents should have been obtained within the last 3 months to be valid. |
|
| I have all the necessary documentation, what is the next step? |
|
| After all documentation has been obtained, please contact Lease Japan for an estimate. |
|
| How much will this cost? |
|
