•This is not a legal filing requirement the way government procedures are, but each financial institution needs to be told separately. At Japan Post Bank the change has to be made for every account you hold — not just the main one, but fixed-term deposits, investment trust accounts and JGB accounts too. Skip the investment trust or JGB accounts and documents such as your annual transaction report may stop reaching you
•The process varies by institution — check each bank or card company's official website for details
•Japan Post Bank also lets you change your address through Yucho Direct or its passbook and procedures apps, though only for the main account. The procedures app verifies you with a driving licence, My Number card or residence card. Transfer accounts, corporate accounts, accounts with a legal guardian, and those holding investment trusts, JGBs or tax-exempt products must be changed at the counter or on paper
