Article 10Handling of Passports When Changes are Made to the Matters Entered

第十条(記載事項に変更を生じた場合の取扱い)

A holder of an ordinary passport is to file an application for the issuance of an ordinary passport pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 without delay, if there are any changes to the matters entered in the ordinary passport (limited to the name of the holder of the passport and other matters specified by Order of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

一般旅券の名義人は、当該一般旅券の記載事項(旅券の名義人の氏名その他外務省令で定める事項に限る。)に変更を生じた場合には、遅滞なく、第三条の規定により一般旅券の発給を申請するものとする。

If there are any changes to the matters entered in an official passport, the head of each ministry or agency or the holder of the official passport is to request the issuance of an official passport pursuant to the provisions of Article 4;provided, however, that this does not apply when the provisions of paragraph (2) of the preceding Article apply.

公用旅券の記載事項に変更を生じた場合には、各省各庁の長又は当該公用旅券の名義人は、遅滞なく、第四条の規定により公用旅券の発給を請求するものとする。ただし、前条第二項の規定の適用がある場合は、この限りでない。

When the Minister for Foreign Affairs or a consular officer has learned that there are changes to the matters entered in a passport, or that there are errors in the matters entered in a passport or matters recorded in a passport by electronic or magnetic means and finds it particularly necessary, the Minister or consular officer may issue a passport by making a request to the holder of the passport (for an official passport whose holder is in Japan, the heads of each ministry or agency) to return the passport without receiving an application or a request; provided, however, that when there is a change only to the destination among the matters entered in a passport, the Minister or a consular officer may request the submission of the passport and correct the destination, in lieu of issuing a passport.

外務大臣又は領事官は、旅券の記載事項に変更を生じ、又は旅券の記載事項若しくは旅券に電磁的方法により記録された事項に誤りがあることを知つた場合において特に必要と認めるときは、申請又は請求に基づかないで、当該旅券の名義人(公用旅券でその名義人が国内に在るものについては、各省各庁の長)に対し、当該旅券の返納を求めて旅券を発行することができる。ただし、旅券の記載事項のうち渡航先にのみ変更を生じたときは、当該旅券の提出を求めてその渡航先を訂正することにより、旅券の発行に代えることができる。

The provisions of Article 8, paragraph (1) apply mutatis mutandis to the delivery of an ordinary passport issued pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, and the provisions of paragraph (4) of that Article apply mutatis mutandis to the delivery of an official passport issued pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph. In such a case, the term "deliver it to the applicant" in paragraph (1) of that Article is deemed to be replaced with "deliver it to the applicant or deliver it by requesting the appearance of a person designated by the applicant".

第八条第一項の規定は前項の規定により発行された一般旅券の交付について、同条第四項の規定は前項の規定により発行された公用旅券の交付について、それぞれ準用する。この場合において、同条第一項中「当該申請者に交付する」とあるのは、「当該申請者に交付し、又はその指定した者の出頭を求めて交付する」と読み替えるものとする。
