When Applying

What should I bring with me when I apply?
  • Driver's license (only if you have one)
  • One residence certificate
    (Within 3 months of permanent registration. For foreigners, nationality, real name, period of stay, etc. should not be omitted)
    * Those who have a license and wish to obtain a motorcycle license or those who wish to undergo an examination may not bring their residence certificate.
    * "My number" should not be included/stated in the certificate.
    * We cannot accept your residence certificate if your my number is included.
  • Identification Card
    (Insurance card, Residence card, passport, student ID, employee ID, etc. For foreigners, Zairyu card is required.)
    * "My number" card cannot be used as an identification document.
  • Those who have medical personnel qualifications
  • Entrance fee (Click here for charges)
    <Please note>
    My number contains personal information used for taxes, social securities and distaster measures so you cannot use this card for other purposes.
    When you prepare a resident card, please be sure to prepare one that does not have your my number listed. (You can choose whether to include it when issuing your resident card. Please check with your local government for details.)
When should I go to apply?
We accept admissions from 9am to 7pm everyday.
*Open all year round (except Year-end and New Year holidays)
*Business hours may change depending on circumstances.
I am a minor, do I need to prepare something?
Please submit a contract for admission of minors and a consent form regarding personal information protection at the time of admission or within a week after admission.
It is a consent form from the parental that must be filled in and seal.
If you come to the school with your parent at the time of applying for admission, please bring your personal seal as it will be stamped by the parent.
If you are coming alone, please bring home the application and consent form then submit it within one week after admission.
Can I get a license once I graduate from the driving school?
Graduating from the driving school doesn't mean that you will receive your driver's license.
With a graduation certificate issued by the school and your residence certificate, you have to go to your local driver's license center and take the actual exam to get your license. You need to pass 90 points or more out of 100.
What is a regular vehicle? Which is better AT or MT?
AT (automatic) cars do not have a clutch and can change gears automatically. MT (manual) cars are the type of cars that change the gear by stepping on the clutch.
If you have an MT vehicle license, you can drive both AT and MT vehicles, but with an AT vehicle license, you will only be able to drive an AT vehicle.
We recommend that you obtain an MT vehicle license for those who drive a car for work, who want a car-related profession or who have an MT vehicle at home.
If you are not likely to drive an MT car or if you are not confident in driving, we recommend you obtaining an AT vehicle license.
If you take a technical training for 4 hours or more at an accredited driving school after obtaining an AT vehicle license, you can switch to MT vehicle license (cancellation of previous license) but again, you need to pay training fees and other various fees such as entrance fee, etc. So you must think very carefully and decide.
At present, more and more people have an AT vehicle license than those who have an MT vehicle license.

Can I enter the course for regular vehicle license even at the age of 17?
You cannot take the completion examination (provisional license examination) unless you are 18 years old or older.
But those who are 17 years old can enter the school if they reach their 18th birthday on the shortest completion examination day.
