* These records are not proof of travel logs or stay logs in other countries.

Records are also not held for those entering based on the Japan-US Status of Forces Agreement (parties related to US military stationed in Japan).

(1) "2. Method of requested disclosure"
Prompt disclosure (issuance/sending of copy, etc.) can be achieved by either of the following two methods:
If you wish for a copy to be sent, please include a letter pack for reply or a reply envelope with a postal stamp. (The postage depends on weight for standard-sized postal mail (see note); please include postage for express or registered mail).
(Note) Postage approximations (for one request for the disclosure of entry (return) / exit records)
For disclosure requests made for periods from and after January 1, 2002, if the trips made to and from Japan total less than 140, then 94 yen in postage will be required. For a higher volume of trips, either 140 or 210 yen in postage will be required.
For disclosure requests made for periods up until December 31, 2001, due to the changes in formatting, ten years’ worth of records would require 94 yen in postage. For longer periods of time, either 140 or 210 yen in postage will be required.
If only the entry / exit records have been requested, and you have left/returned less than 60 times under a re-entry permit or special re-entry permission, then 94 yen in postage will be required.
If you are requesting other records in addition to your entry / exit records (e.g., changes to period of stay or residence cards), or if you have left the country more than seven times for a short stay without a re-entry permit or special re-entry permission, then either 140 yen or 210 yen will be required due to the higher volume of documents.
