| For divorces including a Japanese national | The divorce will be established in Japan upon submitting the divorce notification form at the Citizen's Affairs Section. |
| For divorces between foreign nationals | The divorce will not be established upon submitting the divorce notification form. |
Complete and submit the divorce notification form at the Citizen's Affairs Section. This form must be signed or stamped with a personal seal by both parties showing their full consent, and witnessed by two people over 20 years of age. If both parties are in agreement, then registering a divorce in Japan is relatively simple. However, depending on the laws of your home country, the process can become very complicated.
You are advised to consult with the relevant embassy or consulate in order to determine what is required. Even if a divorce becomes effective in Japan, be sure to obtain official recognition in your home country.
