Alias after Marriage question

Hello. Me and my husband married in Japan while I was on a tourist Visa.
I am currently applying for a Spouse Visa, and once I receive this visa I want to register an Alias ’Ê�Ì–¼ using his last name and my first name at the city hall.
Is this possible to do? I know they offer you to get an alias when you are already married on a visa, but I did not yet have a long term visa so I wasn't offered this, but I do want to change my name.
I apologize for my poor english, and if anyone has experience with this please let me know. Thank you everyone

Why not contact city hall and request to change your name?

As far as I know, the alias that a non-Japanese national registers does NOT appear on the �gresident card�h (�gzairyu card�h).

So once you get a resident status as �gspouse,�h you get registered as a resident on your Japanese spouse�fs �gJuminhyo�h (resident registration), you can register an alias, for example in katakana instead of alphabets (in the case of a westerner). But that I believe does not appear on the front of the card itself.

If you want to �gchange�h your family name, i guess it would be your home country�fs authorities who can handle that.

Hello dear,

Don�ft worry, you can ask to register an alias when you will register your address at your city hall 🙂 usually you just need to bring a wedding certificate in order to use your partner�fs name.

Your alias will then be on all of your papers and IDs, except on your resident card as the name on it should match your passport name.
