Promotion of projects related to registration information systems

We will promote various projects in cooperation with Ministry of Justice on the registration information system.

Overview

The registration information system is an information system that handles clerical work related to real estate registration, commercial and corporate registration, etc. that contributes to the safety and smoothness of various transactions. Digital Agency will promote a project related to this system in cooperation with Ministry of Justice to reduce system costs and eliminate the need to attach certificates of registered matters.

1. Omission of Certificate of Registered Matters

There are many cases in which a certificate of registered matters is required as an attached document in each procedure with administrative organs, etc., and the cost and time required to obtain such a certificate of registered matters is borne by the people. Therefore, the attachment of a certificate of registered matters will be omitted by utilizing the information coordination system between administrative organs related to registered matters to reduce the burden on the people.
