Foreign Company and change registration of the amount of stated capital

In order to run the business continuously in Japan, the registration as Foreign Company should be made (Article 818, Paragraph 1 of Company Act).

When foreign companies advance into Japan, and choose the Japan branch as the form of company, it needs to appoint a representative in Japan and register the foreign company at Legal Affairs Bureau that has jurisdiction over the address of the representative in Japan (the address of the business office when setting up the business office in Japan).

Since the amount of stated capital should be registered in the corporate registration of foreign company (Article 933, Paragraph 2, etc.), it needs to change the registration of the amount of stated capital when the amount has been changed.

It needs to change the registration not only when the amount of stated capital increased, but also decreased.

In cases where the amount of states capital of foreign company has been changed, the representative in Japan of foreign company should submit the application of registration change to Legal Affair Bureau within three (3) weeks after the notification arrived to the representative in Japan (Article 933, Paragraph 4 of Company Act, etc.).

  3. Power of Attorney (when entrusting to a judicial scrivener)

The Affidavit should be certified by the competent government agency or consul in Japan of foreign company’s own state or any other competent authority (Article 130, Paragraph 1 of Commercial Registration Act).
