Photograph your passport

Follow the instructions to take photos A and B.
If there is no "anamoji" on the A or B pages of your passport, you will also need to take a photo of page C.

A page with your name on it

Page with the residence period renewal permission sticker attached
[For right page]

[For left page]

A photo showing that A and B are pages of the same passport
*If there is anamoji on both page A and page B, photo C is not necessary.
[If B is the right page]

Take a photo of your entire passport so that pages A and B fit into one photograph.
[If B is the left page]

If pages A and B are on the left side, please fold the document so that the "Residence Period Renewal Sticker" is visible before taking the photo.
Good photo
Photos in which faces and text are clearly visible
Bad photo
Photos where the faces and text are hard to see due to glare
