Hi All,
Just wanted to know how long it takes to receive your Japanese passport after application and what the admin fee is?
I was just curious as I'm thinking of inviting some people over for a few weeks for a break while Japan recovers. I'm pretty sure they don't have passports as they have never travelled abroad before.
Thanking you in advance.

Once you've applied, I believe it is about a week, at least in Tokyo, until you can go and pick it up. But note that applicants need to submit a copy of their "koseki tohon/shonon," a copy of their "juminhyo" (resident's record), and a photo of an appropriate size, to apply. So you might have to allow a bit more time for them to get these documents ready. They will need to come with an ID when they go pick up the passport (such as a driver's license, health insurance card, etc.), so make sure they have no difficulty with these. They charge you either 11,000 yen (for 5-year passport) or 16,000 yen (10-year passport). http://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/toko/passport/pass_2.html
