Alien Registration Card
From HyogoAJET
Your Alien Registration Card (also known as the "Gaijin Card") will be your main form of identification while in Japan. You are required to get it within 90 days of entering the country, and your supervisor will most likely take you to your city hall to get it soon after you arrive in Japan. Make sure all the details on your card are correct, especially your name, address, and the duration of your visa. Always carry this on you, as without it, you can be arrested and held until your identity is firmly established. (This is rare, but can happen).
If you move, you will have to go to the town or ward office and have them write your new address on the back of your card. If you lose your card, contact your board of education or supervisor. They can replace it in a few days.
