Q;I want to keep the same account and/or credit card after I move. Can I do that?

A;If you are moving within the area of the 23 wards of Tokyo and the 26 towns and cities of the Tama District, you will be able to continue use the same bank account and/or credit card as before you moved.

<Note>

  • In cases other than the above, you will need to submit a new application.
  • If you wish to continue using the same bank account or credit card after you move, you will need to submit an application to stop your service at the address you moved from.
