Promotion of projects related to registration information systems

Last Updated:

With regard to registration information systems, we will promote various projects in cooperation with Ministry of Justice.

Overview

The Registration Information System is an information system that handles administrative work related to real estate registration, commercial and corporate registration, etc. that contributes to the safety and smoothness of various transactions. Digital Agency, in cooperation with Ministry of Justice, is promoting a project related to this system to reduce system costs and to omit the attachment of certificates of registered matters.

1. Attachment of Certificate of Registered Matters Omitted

There are many cases where certificates of registered matters are required as attached documents in each procedure with administrative agencies, etc., and the cost, time, etc. required to obtain these certificates of registered matters is a burden on citizens. Therefore, the attachment of certificates of registered matters will be omitted by utilizing an information coordination system between administrative agencies concerning registered matters to reduce the burden on citizens.

Schematic diagram explaining registration information linkage for the omission of attached registration matters certificates. It shows that linking with Ministry of Justice's "Registration Information Linkage System" eliminates the need for users to obtain and attach registration matters certificates, which had previously been done at the Legal Affairs Bureau, when applying to local governments and other administrative bodies.

2. Reduction of Investment Expenses

We will use the renewal of the registration information system as an opportunity to reduce system operation expenses.

3. Resolving medium - to long-term issues

Digital Agency and Ministry of Justice will strengthen their cooperation to solve medium - and long-term issues and actively consider future concepts for registration information systems, such as reviewing system configuration and business process reengineering (BPR).
