Registry

You can contact us by e-mail or by phone. If you want to visit the registry office in person, please make an appointment in advance.

Any documents addressed to the City, requests for information and other inquiries can be sent to the registry office. The registry office will deliver your message to the appropriate party, register any matters related to decision-making in the case management system, and provide information on the progress of matters.

When sending documents by e-mail, please attach them to the e-mail instead of sending a link to cloud, for example.

You will receive an acknowledgement of receipt for e-mails sent to the registry. If you do not receive an acknowledgement, please send your message again or contact the registry office to ensure that your message has been delivered.
