Have you ever had to write '○ Floor ○ Room' separately when ordering a package?
While apartments have clear distinctions for building, floor, and room numbers, one-room and multi-family houses may share a single street address among multiple households. This can make it difficult to pinpoint an exact location using just the address. This is where the system of 'detailed addresses' comes into play. By adding building, floor, and room information to the street address, it allows for a more precise location.
Another useful system to know about for accurate address information is the 'Address Information Facility Safety Reporting System.' If you come across damaged or missing street name signs or building number plates in your area, you can easily report them online.
Detailed addresses can be created for one-room apartments.
A detailed address is an address that includes the building number along with the building, floor, and room information. Unlike buildings like apartments that are clearly divided from the start, one-room and multi-family houses often share a single street address. By obtaining a detailed address, you can represent your actual residence more accurately, such as 'Building 1, Room 101' or 'Building 2, Room 202.'
Why is a detailed address necessary?
A detailed address is not just for the convenience of receiving packages. In cases where multiple households share a single street address, it can be challenging to confirm the exact residence using just the building address. By obtaining a detailed address, you can specify the building number followed by the building, floor, and room, allowing for more accurate delivery of mail and packages. It also aids in confirming household locations for administrative and welfare services, especially in emergencies.
How to apply for a detailed address?
Detailed addresses can be requested by the owners or tenants of buildings that do not have registered building, floor, and room numbers in the construction register. Owners can apply if they are renting or planning to rent a distinct part of a building. Tenants can also request a detailed address if they have the owner's consent or if the owner has not applied within 14 days after the request.
Application can be submitted in person at the relevant city or district office, or online through the government portal. Mail submissions are also possible. When applying, you may need a layout of the building, and tenants must provide documentation to verify their status. There is no application fee, and the processing time is approximately 14 days.
Let's work together for accurate address information!
While a detailed address helps pinpoint your home more accurately, residents can also participate in maintaining accurate address information in their neighborhoods through the Address Information Facility Safety Reporting System.
As you walk around, you may notice building number plates on walls or street name signs installed in various locations. These facilities provide essential address information for locating destinations accurately.
If you find any damaged or missing street name signs or building number plates, you can report them directly through the Address Information Facility Safety Reporting System. This system, operational since 2023, allows residents to monitor and report address information facilities in their surroundings.
Reporting is simple. Just access the Address Information Facility Safety Reporting website and upload a photo of the damaged facility, along with the location and a description of its condition.
Submitted reports are verified by the relevant city or district department, which will carry out necessary repairs. You can report online without visiting an administrative office, so if you notice any damaged address information facilities, please participate actively.
Accurate addresses start from our daily lives.
Addresses are often thought of as merely information for receiving packages or mail, but they are used in many aspects of our lives, from administrative and welfare services to confirming locations in emergencies. If you live in a one-room or multi-family house and find it difficult to indicate the exact room number, check for a detailed address. If you discover damaged or missing street name signs or building number plates in your area, utilize the Address Information Facility Safety Reporting System. Your small attention and participation can contribute to more accurate address information.
