What is expulsion？
Family registers are required to apply for inheritance registration. There are three types of family registers: current family register, removal from family register, and original family register with revision.
(相続登記申請には戸籍の提出が必要になります。戸籍の種類には、現在戸籍、除籍、改製原戸籍があります。)
Let’s take a look at expulsion. Expulsion has two meanings.
(除籍について見ていきましょう。除籍には意味が２つあります。)
〇The first is to leave the family register by marriage, death, etc.
(１つ目は、結婚や死亡等で戸籍のメンバーの中から抜けることです。)
For example, when a person marries, he or she leaves the family register of his or her parents and creates a new family register. When a person leaves the family register of his or her parents, it is called “expulsion,” meaning that the person is removed from the family register. In computerized family registers, “expulsion” is printed in the “status” column of the person who has left the family register. In vertically written family registers, an erasure line is drawn in the name column.
(例えば、結婚をすると今まで親の戸籍に入っていたところから出て、新しい戸籍を作ることになります。この親の戸籍を出るとき、戸籍から除かれるという意味で「除籍」と言います。コンピュータ化されている戸籍では、抜けた人の身分事項欄に「除籍」と印字されます。また縦書きの戸籍には、名の欄に消除線が引かれます。)
〇The second is said to refer to a situation in which all members of the family register are no longer present.
(２つ目は、戸籍のメンバー全員がいなくなった状態のものを指して言います。)
For example, when a person has moved his or her family register to another municipality (transferred), or when all members of the family register have been expelled from the register due to marriage, death, etc. In these cases, the family register itself is called “expulsion” and the word “expulsion” is indicated on the outside of the first column of the family register.
(例えば、他の市町村に本籍を移した（転籍した）場合、全員が婚姻や死亡等で除籍になった場合です。こういった場合、戸籍そのものを除籍と呼び、戸籍の最初の欄外のところに「除籍」と表示されています。)
〇Family registers required to apply for inheritance registration
(相続登記申請に必要な戸籍について)
First, you will need a copy of the deceased person’s removal from the family register. If the person died recently, we will take a computerized family register. For example, suppose there is a family register of a married couple and the husband has died. The printout “removal from family register” appears in the husband’s status column. The wife is still alive, so this family register also becomes the wife’s current family register. The first person in the family register (the person listed at the beginning of the family register), but this first person does not need to be changed or the first person in the family register changed after death.
(まずは亡くなった方の除籍謄本が必要になります。最近亡くなった方であれば、コンピュータ化されている戸籍を取ることになります。例えば夫婦の戸籍があり、夫が亡くなったとします。夫の身分事項欄に除籍という印字が表示されています。そして、妻はまだ生きているので、この戸籍は妻の現在戸籍にもなります。なお、戸籍の筆頭者（戸籍の最初に記載されている人）ですが、死亡してもこの筆頭者が変わったり、筆頭者を変更したりする必要はありません。)
By the way, what should we do if we do not know the legal domicile of the deceased person in order to obtain a copy of his/her removal? In this case, you can obtain a certificate of residence that shows the place of domicile and the name of the head of the family. You may also check with your relatives.
(ところで、亡くなった方の除籍謄本を取るにも、本籍地が不明の場合は、どうしたらいいでしょうか。この場合、本籍地が記載された住民票を取得して、本籍地や筆頭者氏名を確認すればいいでしょう。また、ご親族に確認してみるのもいいでしょう。)
