About storage period

Due to a partial amendment to the Enforcement Order of the Basic Resident Register Act (enforced on June 20, 2019), the retention period for removal records has been extended to 150 years.
The previous retention period was five years from the year of cancellation, so Inagi City cannot issue certificates for cancellations made before March 31, 2014.
