⚖️ Legal Definition of Age and Official Document Rules
Age Calculation Law Regulations
Age calculation in Japan is defined by the "Age Calculation Law" enacted in 1902 (Meiji 35). This law stipulates that age increases at midnight (24:00) on the day before the birthday.
For example, someone born on April 2, 1990, turns 35 at midnight (24:00) on April 1, 2025. This is consistent with Article 143 of the Civil Code regarding "commencement of periods."
Age Recording Rules on Resumes
- Record Full Age: Resumes generally use the format "Age XX" (full age). Traditional age counting (full age + 1) is not used.
- Age at Submission: Record your full age at the time of resume submission (or interview date). Be careful if there are many days between creation and submission.
- Consistency with Birth Date: Ensure consistency between birth date and age fields. Inconsistencies may be considered document errors.
Recording Age and Birth Date on Official Documents
Official documents (resident certificates, family registries, passport applications, etc.) require accurate recording of birth dates in Gregorian or Japanese calendar. When using the Japanese calendar, note the following:
- Accurate Era Recording: Do not abbreviate era names like "Heisei" or "Reiwa"; use official full names.
- Era Change Dates: Before January 7, 1989 is "Showa," from January 8 onwards is "Heisei." From May 1, 2019 onwards is "Reiwa."
- Academic Year Notation: Resume education sections use formats like "Month/Year Enrolled" and "Month/Year Graduated." School years are calculated from April 2 to April 1 of the following year.
Legal Age Boundaries
Japanese law establishes the following rights and obligations based on age:
- Age 20 (Adulthood): Since April 1, 2022, the age of adulthood was lowered to 18 (Civil Code revision). Contractual acts become possible at 18.
- Age 65 (Elderly): The Act on Stabilization of Employment of Elderly Persons mandates employment security until age 65.
- Age 75 (Late Elderly): Becomes subject to the Late-stage Elderly Healthcare System.
