Question about after naturalization

When you get naturalized, do you guys give your resident card to the immigration or you just show it to them to cancel it and put a hole on it? I love to keep all my residence cards with me including my permanent residence card. I hope someone answers this question. Thank you!

Great question. I believe mine was taken by the ward office when I created my koseki. You might want to create a photocopy.

Paul, thank you so much. My wife checked online and found out there was person who got his resident card back with a hole in it. However, it turned out that he is not living in Tokyo. So, he lives in a different prefecture. Yesterday, I went to the city hall to create my koseki. I just showed them my PR but they did not take it. I was asked to return my residence card to the immigration office. I will visit them soon. I share their answer here for the purpose of sharing the info with others. Thank you.

I got naturalized in feb 2018. I was asked to surrender the resident card to local immigration within 14days. My kika case officer told that if I don't surrender within 14days I have to pay fine.

Please surrender your resident card within 14days to your local immigration from the day you get naturalized

I went today to immigration office to let them know that I was naturalized and to return my residence card. Before returning the residence card (permanent residence), I showed them all my previous residence cards with holes in them. I asked the officer if it would be possible to put a hole in my permanent card and return it back to me just as souvenir or for memory. The officer said Yes, sure.
By the way, I was concerned with one thing. The officer did the following: -Asked me to show him my the document I was given by the ministry of justice (proof that I was naturalized) -My permanent residence card. Then, he did put a hole in it and hand it back to me. -The officer told me that the data I was naturalized does not appear on their system. He said it may take sometime. - I asked him if I need to comeback again for any reasons. -The officer clearly said you do not have to comeback. I was surprised to hear the data I was naturalized does not appear on their system.
