How to order Japanese passport online? A few steps!

Okay, so, I needed a Japanese passport. First things first, I gotta find out how to get one. I did some digging, and it looked like the first step was to book an appointment online. I found out I can just book an appointment on a website.

I went to the website and it looked pretty official, which was good. There was an online form I had to fill out. It asked for all the usual stuff – name, address, you know, the basics. I made sure to double-check everything because I didn’t want to mess this up.

Filling out the Online Form

After I submitted the form, I got an email asking me to confirm my appointment. I guess they do this to make sure people are serious. I clicked the confirmation link, and boom, my appointment was set.

• Found the right website.
• Filled out the online appointment form.
• Confirmed my appointment via email.

I knew I needed some specific documents, so I started gathering those. The main thing was getting a proper photo. The size had to be 35mm x 45mm, or just a standard U.S. passport photo size, which is 2in x 2in.

Getting the Photo

I went to a local photo place to get my picture taken. Made sure I didn’t smile too much – you know how strict they can be with these photos. Got the photos printed, and they looked okay, so that was one big thing off my list.

• Got my passport photo taken at a local store.
• Ensured the photo met the size requirements (35mm x 45mm or 2in x 2in).

After submitting my application I just waited. They said it would take about five working days. I think it’s pretty fast. I marked my calendar and tried not to think about it too much. Then, a few days later, I got a notification that my passport was ready! Finally, I got my passport, and everything was perfect.

Getting a Japanese passport was a bit of a process, but it wasn’t too bad. Just had to make an online appointment, get the right documents together, and wait a bit. Now I’m all set for my next trip!
