The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan will implement a partial amendment to the enforcement order of the Passport Law on March 24, 2025, changing the prefectural portion of the fees.
With this amendment, all prefectures will begin accepting new passport applications online through the MyNumber portal starting from the same date. The standard amount of the prefectural fee will be changed from the current 2,000 yen to 1,900 yen for online applications, and to 2,300 yen for paper applications. The specific prefectural fee will be determined based on this standard amount and stipulated in the prefecture’s fee ordinance.
Besides the prefectural fee, a revenue stamp is required for new passport applications: 14,000 yen for a 10-year passport, 9,000 yen for a passport valid for 5 years for those aged 12 and over, and 4,000 yen for a passport valid for 5 years for those under 12.
