All Japanese citizens over the age of 12 must have their own certificate, even if they have lived in abroad all their life. Those under the age of 12 can have their name printed in their parents’ certificates.
This document must be printed by the embassy BEFORE you can order your JR Pass. You will be denied the exchange of JR Pass in Japan if the dates do not match. It is your own responsibility to double check this before you go. Click here for more information.
Not a Japanese citizen? Ignore this information. You do NOT need a certificate.
