Death Registration
When a Japanese citizen has passed away in the U.S., please submit their Death Registration.
A family member or a relative needs to report it to either their closest Embassy/Consulate office or a municipal office in Japan.
If the deceased acquired U.S. citizenship by naturalization and have not removed themselves from the Family Registry, please submit their Denaturalization Registration instead.
