When a Baby is Born

Congratulations! There are several procedures right after birth. The 14-day rule applies — act quickly.

Progress 0 / 3 Steps
  1. 1
    🏠 Life Events Open
    Birth Registration (Shussho-todoke)
    ⚠️ Within 14 days of birth! Need hospital birth certificate.
    Bring the hospital's Birth Certificate and your Boshi-techo to City Hall within 14 days of birth. Don't forget to apply for Child Allowance and Free Medical Care at the same time!
  2. 2
    💰 Financial Support Open
    Child Allowance (Jido Teate)
    Apply right after birth registration! Late = lost monthly payments.
    This is money for households with children up to high school age. If you don't apply within 15 days of childbirth or moving, you will miss out, so be very careful!
  3. 3
    🏥 Health & Insurance Open
    Enrollment and Withdrawal from National Health Insurance
    Add baby to your health insurance as a dependent.
    You must complete the 'enrollment' procedure when leaving a company, and the 'withdrawal' procedure when starting a new job, within 14 days. Delays may result in paying full medical costs or double billing of insurance taxes.
