Article 4-2Prohibition of Receiving Dual Passports

第四条の二(旅券の二重受給の禁止)

A person who has been issued with a passport may not be issued with another passport for as long as that current passport is valid; provided, however, that this does not apply when the Minister for Foreign Affairs or a consular officer finds it particularly necessary to issue another passport for protecting the person or for the convenience of traveling abroad.

旅券の発給を受けた者は、その旅券が有効な限り、重ねて旅券の発給を受けることができない。ただし、外務大臣又は領事官がその者の保護又は渡航の便宜のため特に必要があると認める場合は、この限りでない。
