XNUMX. XNUMX.How long does it take to review a naturalization application?
When applying for naturalization to obtain Japanese nationality, many people have the image that the examination period and result waiting period are long, they do not receive a reply, they do not know how long it will take, and the examination is slow. I think.Even at administrative scrivener corporation Climb, from customers“How long does it take to know the results of the naturalization application?”I often ask questions.
In this article, we will explain the flow of naturalization application, the examination period, and the characteristics of cases where results are obtained early in naturalization application.
▼ Naturalization application process
The general process for applying for naturalization is as follows.
- [Process until approval of naturalization application]
- ① Prepare documents for naturalization application (about 2 weeks to 2 months)
- ② Apply at the competent legal affairs bureau
- ③ Interview (3 months after application)
- ④ Notification of results (approximately 6 months after the interview)

As can be seen from the above process, the minimum review period from application to notification of results isabout 9 monthIt can be said that it takes.
In many cases, it takes more than a month to prepare the documents for naturalization application depending on individual circumstances, and depending on the situation of the person applying for naturalization (individual business owner, etc.), it takes longer than the normal examination period. It often takes.
From consultation on naturalization application to notification of results,takes about a yearThere are many people.
XNUMX. XNUMX.What is the case of getting permission early?

- Especially for office workers who work for companiesThose who have rarely changed jobs and have been working for the same company for a long time (3 years or more as a guide)May shorten the review period.
On the other hand, sole proprietors and business owners tend to take longer than the normal examination period because more documents are submitted when applying for naturalization and more points are required for examination. - young age
- If the person applying for naturalization is younger, the examination period tends to be shorter.
This is probably because younger people often have less history and relatively few documents.
XNUMX. XNUMX.How to get the shortest result in naturalization application
The fact that an application for naturalization is permitted entails an important decision that the nationality of the applicant will be Japan, so it is natural for the reviewers to be cautious.
Depending on the situation of the person applying for naturalization, the content of the documents will differ, and the points of examination will also change.
The examination period for a naturalization application will inevitably take a long time unless it is in the case described in XNUMX., so in order to get the result as quickly as possible, aim for the shortest possible time.Shorten time to application(Part XNUMX of the above process) I think is the most important thing.
