登記識別情報

The confidential code a registrar issues to each person a completed registration makes the registered holder of a property, unless that person asked in advance not to be given one[1], and which that holder must then supply when they later sell or mortgage it, unless it was never issued to them or there is some other legitimate reason they cannot produce it[1]. It is composed of Arabic numerals and other characters and is set separately for every property and every holder[2]; on a paper application it is handed over as a written document, and the registrar must issue it so that nobody but the entitled holder, the holder's legal or corporate representative, or an agent the holder has specially authorised to receive it, learns the code[2]. It replaced the paper 登記済証 under the 2004 rewrite of the Real Property Registration Act, office by office as each Legal Affairs Bureau was designated for the new procedure[1], so which of the two a given owner holds depends on where and when their ownership was registered. It authenticates the applicant rather than the ownership: it is how the registrar satisfies itself that an application came from the registered holder[1], so a stolen code, or one kept back after a sale that was never registered, says nothing about who owns the property today. A seller who cannot produce one is still the most common opening in an impersonation attempt, because that is the point where the registry falls back on its own checks: 事前通知, unless a qualified agent's 本人確認情報 or a notary's authentication displaces it[1].
