Until now, those receiving pension had to submit a “Status Report” once a year. Since October 2006, the pension Organization of Japan (formerly the Social Insurance Agency) has been using the Basic Resident Register Network to check the status of those receiving pension.

If you are unable to confirm the current status using the Network System for Basic Resident Registers, you will still need to submit a status report.
Example) Those who need to submit a status report

• Those who live in foreign countries
• Those who have different personal information (name, gender, date of birth, Address) held by the Japan pension Organization and cannot record resident certificatethe Network System for Basic Resident Registers (*)
  ※If applicable, we will send you a notice from the Japan pension Organization that we were unable to record the resident certificate code. If the resident certificate code can be recorded by performing the prescribed procedures, the future status report will be omitted.
