❓ FAQ
When should I submit the pregnancy notification?
It is recommended to submit it as soon as possible after confirming your pregnancy (guide: around the 11th week of pregnancy). Upon submission, you will receive the Maternal and Child Health Handbook and subsidy coupons for health checkups.
What documents are needed for the pregnancy notification?
The basic requirement is the 'Pregnancy Notification Form' issued by a medical institution. Please also bring identification (such as your My Number Card). If a proxy is applying, a power of attorney is required.
Where can I get the Maternal and Child Health Handbook?
It will be issued on the spot at the City Hall or Health Center where you submit your pregnancy notification. The handbook is used to record pregnancy checkups, childbirth, infant health checkups, vaccinations, etc., until the child starts school.
What is the procedure if I return to my hometown for childbirth?
Submit the pregnancy notification in Ota City (your registered address) and receive the handbook there. Subsidy coupons from Ota City may not be usable for health checkups in your hometown. In that case, you can apply to Ota City for reimbursement of the out-of-pocket expenses.
