    Procedures of commercial and corporation registration for foreign nationals and expatriates

     In the case where a foreign national establishes a company in Japan, or where an officer of a company or corporation lives abroad, handling of registration procedure is as follows.

     

    Residence of the representative director

     The previous requirement that at least one of the representative directors in the domestic company has an address in Japan has been abolished. The application for the registration of incorporation of a domestic stock company and the application for the registration of change of representative director of the company will be accepted, even if all of the representative directors do not have addresses in Japan.

     Therefore, even if all the representative directors live abroad and they are not Japanese, the application for the registration of incorporation of a company in Japan will be accepted.

We will create documents both English and Japanese. After you signed the articles of incorporation, we will be notarized by a notary public for you.

     

    Payment Certificate

     If a stock company is to be incorporated by hokki-setsuritu, the method by which incorporators subscribe for all shares issued at incorporation, a document evidencing the completion of payment of the contribution (a “Payment Certificate”) must be attached to the application for the registration of incorporation.

    A sealed document which contains the following two documents can be accepted as a Payment Certificate.

     

    1. A document certifying the amount paied to the banks or other institution that handles the payment (the “Payment Handling Institution”) (Prepared by the representative director at incorporation or the representative executive officer at incorporation)

     

    2. A copy of a deposit passbook of the Payment Handling Institution, or a bill of transaction, or other documents prepared by the Payment Handling Institution

     

    Payment Handling Institutions

     The Payment Handling Institutions include not only main and branch offices of domestic banks located in Japan, but also branch offices of foreign banks located in Japan (which are permitted by the Prime Minister to be established).

     Also, domestic bank branch offices located abroad are included. Domestic bank branch offices will be shown in a certificate of registered matters of the bank.

     However, note that overseas subsidiary established under the foreign law is not the domestic bank branch office, and is not included in the Payment Handling Institutions”.
