Do you need a certificate of innocence to immigrate to Japan?

Immigrating to Japan requires proof of innocence. A certificate of no criminal record is a document used to prove that an applicant has no criminal record in a specific period. When acquiring nationality or applying for immigration in Japan, the applicant needs to apply to relevant institutions (such as police stations or courts) to obtain a certificate of no criminal record. This certificate contains personal information and confirms that there is no criminal record within the specified time. This is to ensure that immigrant applicants have a good background and meet Japanese immigration requirements and safety standards.
