A Certification of Needed Support is effective according to the Category of Needed Support Condition during the period as determined by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (herein referred to as "Effective Period" in this Article).
An Insured Person that has been issued a Certification of Needed Support, when he or she is expected to be in a Needed Support Condition after the expiry of the Effective Period, may apply to the Municipality for application of renewal of said Certification of Needed Support (herein referred to as "Renewal of Certification of Needed Support") pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare.
In a case when an Insured Person that may apply for the application as set forth in the preceding paragraph was not able to apply for said application prior to expiry of the Effective Period of Certification of Needed Support pertaining to said application due to a disaster or other compelling reason, said Insured Person may apply for a Renewal of Certification of Needed Support within one month from the date on which said reasons are no longer valid.
The provisions of the preceding Article (except for paragraph (7)) and Article 28, paragraphs (5) to (8) apply mutatis mutandis to an application as prescribed in the preceding two paragraphs and a Renewal of Certification of Needed Support pertaining to said application. In this case, the necessary technical replacement of the terms of these provisions is specified by a Cabinet Order.
前条（第七項を除く。）及び第二十八条第五項から第八項までの規定は、前二項の申請及び当該申請に係る要支援更新認定について準用する。この場合において、これらの規定に関し必要な技術的読替えは、政令で定める。
A Renewal of Certification of Needed Support pertaining to an application as set forth in paragraph (3) becomes effective retroactively on the date following the date of expiry of the Effective Period of Certification of Needed Support pertaining to said application.
The provisions of paragraph (1) apply mutatis mutandis to a Renewal of Certification of Needed Support. In this case, the phrase "period as determined by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare" in the same paragraph is deemed to be replaced with "period as determined by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare from the date following the expiry of the Effective Period."
