If there is a change in the name and lot number of Machikai-cho due to land readjustment projects, administrative district reorganization, house display maintenance projects, etc., many of the public books provided at public offices will be automatically rewritten based on laws and regulations. However, there are some things that cannot be rewritten without an application from the person. The main reason for this is:

• Registration of change of ownership of real estate ownership
• Registration of change of corporate location and representative of Address
• Changes in vehicle inspection certificate
• Change of information on driver's license (resident certificate, insurance card is also acceptable)
• Change of licenses and permits in Address

However, a "Land Name Change Certificate" is required for this procedure.

You can apply by mail to the Sakae Ward Office only if the Address is in Sakae Ward. We cannot apply for "name change certificate of land" of other cities in the city by mail. Please contact the ward office in charge of the Address before requesting.
