  < How to fill out the forms (pdf)/(websiteya)>

  Buying a car requires quite a bit of paperwork.

 (a) 'Sha-ko-sho-mei' yacertificate: You have to get a certificate that you do have a parking space for the
 car from a local police station. This involves an affidavit from the owner of the parking space (unless you
 own the space), map to find the parking space so that a police officer can go and check if you do have
 the parking space. It will take approximately a week to get the certificate.

 (b) Paperwork at the local land transport office, 'rick-uhn-kyock', for the transaction of the ownership.
 When you buy a car, either used or new, from an automobile dealer, they would do almost all the
 paperwork for you. However, if you would like to do all the paperwork yourself, which you have to do
 yourself in any case if you buy a car through a private deal, expect that you would be spending a lot of
 time running around to get all sorts of certificates, including a certificate of your residency, affidavit of
 your signature to be the real one from an embassy of your country. The latter can be substituted by
 your 'han-ko' (a personal stamp) certified by the local authority. You must get the 'han-ko' made for you
 since a mass produced 'han-ko, can not be used for it.

 Do not expect that the office people for all these deal can understand you unless you speak Japanese
 well (which may not be even sufficient).
