Tokyo

This guide is intended for residents of Tokyo (Not sure which prefecture you live in? You can easily check by looking at the backside of your residence card). As one of the most densely populated urban areas in the world, Tokyo often has significantly longer wait times compared to other prefectures.

This is further complicated by the fact that most driver’s licensing centers in Japan do not process foreign license conversion applications daily. Instead, they designate specific days for handling license conversion procedures.

However, with proper preparation, the application process can be completed smoothly and efficiently!
