パスポート申請（海外在留邦人用） 1.3.1

This app is the official application of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that provides three functions for overseas Japanese residents to electronically apply for passports: "capturing passport face and reading IC chip," "capturing a personal photo," and "capturing a self-signed photo." As this app operates in conjunction with the browser-based Overseas Passport Electronic Application System, it will not function if launched independently. To use this app, registration is required with the online Foreign Residence Declaration. Please launch the app from the "Overseas Passport Electronic Application System." If the app is launched from the home screen of an iPhone, an error message will be displayed and it will not function.

The submission of the Residence Declaration is required for individuals who have resided for three months or more, with an address or place of residence established in a foreign country. However, even for Japanese residents who have resided for less than three months, registration is necessary to utilize the electronic application.
