Registering your address in Kyoto

Kyoto City handles address changes at the household registry section (戸籍住民担当) of the citizens’ general counter office (市民総合窓口室) in each ward office and branch office. For the spring rush the city opened them on one Sunday in 2026, March 29, from 9:00 to 15:00, to take moving-in, moving-out and in-city move notices. That date has passed, so check the city’s announcement for next spring.
