On March 24, the Japan Tourism Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and JATA held a joint press conference in Tokyo to announce the start of accepting applications for the issuance of new passports (2025 passports).

A sample of the 2025 passport was shown on the spot, and is presented here with photos.

The new passport is based on the recommendations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and other organizations, and has greatly strengthened anti-counterfeiting and anti-tampering measures. The photo page is now made of a plastic substrate and is printed and imprinted with a laser.

The new passport will be prepared centrally at the National Printing Bureau and delivered to the applicant’s municipality for delivery. Therefore, it takes about two weeks from application to delivery, and about two weeks to one month for applications from outside Japan (embassies and consulates general).

In addition, all prefectures will support online application for new issuance and changeover, so that a visit to the counter will only be necessary once to pick up the document. In addition, since family register information is linked to the system for online applications, it is no longer necessary to submit a copy of the family register.

Fees vary between online and at the counter, and are as follows

10-year passport (current 16,000 yen): online application 15,900 yen, over the counter application 16,300 yen

5-year passport (current 11,000 yen): online application: 19,900 yen, over the counter application: 11,300 yen
