What procedures are required for a Chinese and a Japanese permanent resident to get married?

The following steps need to be followed for the marriage between a Chinese and a Japanese permanent resident:

1. Prepare a marriage application and apply for a notarized marriage certificate at a local notary office in Japan.

2. Prepare a marriage certificate and register the marriage at the local registration office in Japan.

3. Prepare a marriage certificate and apply for marriage tax registration at the local tax bureau in Japan.

When applying for a marriage certificate, you need to provide the following materials:

1. Passport and a copy of the passport photo page.

2. Original "Resident Record" (valid within three months), original "Residence Card" or "Alien Registration Card" and copies of the front and back.

3. 3 recent group photos (frontal without hat, 4cm×5cm).

4. Each party concerned shall fill in one copy of the "Declaration for Application for Marriage Registration".

It should be noted that when applying for a marriage certificate, both parties must be present at the same time, sign and fill in the date on the "Application for Marriage Registration Declaration". When collecting a marriage certificate, both parties must be present at the same time. If the other party is really unable to go to the embassy or consulate general for some reason, he or she can issue a power of attorney to entrust the other party to collect the form on his or her behalf after ensuring that the filled-in form is correct. The principal must sign and seal the power of attorney. In addition, if one party comes to Japan with a short-term visa to get married, a notarized certificate of marriage issued in China is also required.
