パスポート申請（海外在留邦人用）

This official app of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs simplifies the passport application process for Japanese nationals living overseas. It offers three key functions: capturing passport photos, reading the IC chip of your passport, and taking self-signed photos. However, it operates in conjunction with the overseas passport electronic application system, requiring prior registration for online residence.

To use the app, log in to the Online Residential Registration system on your device, and follow the prompts to initiate the application. After taking the necessary photos, you can finalize your application through your browser. Note that all captured photos are encrypted and sent directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for processing. This app is free, compliant with Android 7.1 or higher, and essential for Japanese nationals residing abroad wishing to apply for a passport easily.
