Every country has its own collecting body, its own filing calendar and its own way of certifying that a company is up to date. In Japan, these elements form part of the file of every firm listed by the network.
The social security clearance certificate is the document that sums everything up: at a given moment it states whether the company has filed and paid. It is also the one that expires soonest, and the first the network asks its partners to renew. The table of documents below indicates which body issues it in Japan and under which wording to apply for it.
A Japanese partner must state which of the two titles it holds. We expect the registration certificate of a 社会保険労務士 or a 税理士, together with a written account of how the other side is covered, whether by an in-house colleague or under an arrangement with another practitioner. Add to that the full company register extract (履歴事項全部証明書, not the current-status version), the type 3 tax certificate confirming no arrears, both separate social insurance certificates, and the company seal certificate. The プライバシーマーク is welcome but not required.
