If a Japanese company or branch-office in Japan changes its registered details, or certain registered details of a Japanese branch-office’s head-office change, such as directors names or addresses, then the changed details must be registered with Japan’s Ministry of Justice within 30 – 60 days. Failure to register changed details will result in penalties and in certain cases withdrawal of business licenses. Japanese companies make sure their registered details are always correct.
