If you submitted a moving-out notification to your municipality before departure, this document is generally not required. However, if you were enrolled in a pension system before July 2012, or if the Japan Pension Service cannot verify information from the deleted resident record because it cannot identify your name in Roman letters, upload either a copy of the deleted resident record (住民票の除票の写し) or the passport page showing your departure date.
