If the mayor of a municipality finds that any entry in a family register that is impermissible under law or any mistake or omission is in the entries in a family register, they must notify the notifying person or the party to the event under notification to that effect without delay; provided, however, that this does not apply if the details of and reasons for the correction are clear to the mayor of a municipality from the entries in the family register, entries in the notification, or other documents.
戸籍の記載が法律上許されないものであること又はその記載に錯誤若しくは遺漏があることを発見した場合には、市町村長は、遅滞なく届出人又は届出事件の本人にその旨を通知しなければならない。ただし、戸籍の記載、届書の記載その他の書類から市町村長において訂正の内容及び事由が明らかであると認めるときは、この限りでない。
In the case referred to in the proviso of the preceding paragraph, the mayor of a municipality may correct the family register with the permission of the director with jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the permission referred to in that paragraph is not required for minor revisions to the content of a family register that do not have an impact on the familial relationships of the persons entered in the family register.
If, in the course of their duty, a court or any other government agency, public prosecutor, or public official has come to know of any entry in a family register that is impermissible under law, or of any mistake or omission in the entries in a family register, they must notify the mayor of a municipality in the locality of the registered domicile of the parties to the event under notification to that effect without delay.
裁判所その他の官庁、検察官又は吏員がその職務上戸籍の記載が法律上許されないものであること又はその記載に錯誤若しくは遺漏があることを知つたときは、遅滞なく届出事件の本人の本籍地の市町村長にその旨を通知しなければならない。
