Sa mga hindi pa po nakaka-alam ng rules ng Japanese Embassy sa Pinas tungkol sa pagpapa-register ng inyong anak na half Japanese born in the Philippines, this is for you kung ayaw ninyong mawala ang pagiging Japanese national nito, at hindi po kayo mahirapan sa pagkuha ng kanyang rights na maging isang Japanese citizenship later on.


By law po, ang batang pinanganak sa Pinas between a Japanese at Pinoy na mag-asawa na legally married bago manganak ay magiging Pinoy ang citizenship by birth. Hindi sya magiging Japanese as long na hindi ito na-declare or hindi pinakita ng parents ng bata ang intention nilang maging Hapon ang baby.

Japanese Embassy in the Philippines Note: The Article 12 of Nationality Act stated that: A Japanese citizen who acquired the nationality of a foreign country through birth and who was born abroad shall retroactively lose Japanese nationality at the time of birth, unless he/she indicates an intention to reserve Japanese nationality pursuant to the provision of Family Registration Act (Act No. 224 of 1947).

Kung gusto ng parents na maging Japanese ang bata or makakuha ng Japanese citizenship, need nilang mag-submit ng REGISTRATION OF BIRTH within 3 MONTHS (starting at the time na pinanganak ang bata) period sa Japanese Embassy sa Pinas, or sa city hall sa Japan kung saan nakatira ang parent na Japanese. Be aware na kapag hindi ito na-submit within 3 MONTHS, mawawala ang pagiging Japanese citizenship ng bata at that time.

Para sa registration of birth ng inyong anak, ang mga kailangang documents ay ang mga sumusunod: (1) Birth registration application form available at the Embassy of Japan, (2) Certified true copy of birth certificate issued by the city hall or PSA (former NSO) and its Japanese translation – 2 copies each, (3) Koseki Tohon (Family register), or its copy, to confirm the family relationship, (4) Certificate of acceptance of acknowledgement of embryonic child – in case the application was made in Japan, (5) Photo ID, e.g., Passport, Driver’s License, or Government ID of the informant, (6) Signet, if thumbprint is not acceptable.

Kung meron kayong mga additional na katanungan, maaari kayong magtanong sa Japanese Embassy in the Philippines.
