[Approval Case for Certificate of Authorized Employment] A Case of Obtaining a “Certificate of Authorized Employment” After Changing Jobs

Case Overview | Applied for a Certificate of Authorized Employment to Clarify Work Eligibility After Changing Jobs

This case involves a person residing in Japan on a work visa who changed jobs. To clarify in advance that the applicant could work lawfully under the new employer and job duties, we supported the process of obtaining a “Certificate of Authorized Employment.” Although the applicant had never consulted an administrative scrivener before and felt anxious, we carefully organized the situation through a phone consultation. By working closely together and providing support through to the end, Miyagawa and Komura helped the applicant successfully obtain the certificate, as shared in the client’s feedback.

	Request Details: Application for a Certificate of Authorized Employment related to a job change

Thanks to Mr. Miyagawa and Mr. Komura, I was able to obtain a “Certificate of Authorized Employment.”

At first, I was unsure whether to hire an administrative scrivener, and since it was my first time requesting help as an individual, I gathered my courage and called for a consultation despite feeling nervous. Mr. Miyagawa was extremely kind and supportive.

He explained my situation in a very thorough and sincere manner, so I decided to ask for their help.

Mr. Komura, who also assisted me, was equally kind. I was often in a rush and felt anxious, but Mr. Komura always listened carefully to my concerns and explained the situation in various ways.

I truly feel I made the right choice by asking this office for help. It was a tremendous relief. If I have similar procedures in the future, I would like to ask for their assistance again.

Mr. Miyagawa and Mr. Komura, thank you very much.
