Japanese Driver License Translation Template

[ItchyKneeSon 4]

(I hope this is the appropriate place to post this.)

So, I'm going through the IR-1/CR-1 process from Japan and will be using both my wife and my Japanese driver's licenses to prove that we live at the same address (because co-ownership of bank accounts, apartments, etc. is unheard of here).  I wanted to make available the translation template that I made to others who may be interested in using it in the future (because we all know how fun it is to make up one-off custom templates...).  It's not perfect and I haven't used it quite yet, but it's a good start and will likely save some folks some time in the future.  

Can this be linked to or posted somewhere on the VJ site for easy reference later?
Should we get this topic started in another forum?

Here's the link to the document on Google Docs.
Feel free to make comments on the document regarding improvements or other suggestions.

I'll be working on getting the back of the license translated as well.

By the way, I used the translations available on Wikipedia HERE to put it together and added some information I thought to be pertinent.

Kind Regards,

Itchy

Thanks for putting this in the correct place, TBoneTX.

I  just edited my original post to include the link to the translation template for the back side of the Japanese driver's license.

Her family registry, Koseki, will have that information as well.  No need to submit DL translations, unless you just want to be extra sure.

Thanks for the reply.
I have her Zenbu Jiko Shomei, which is supposedly what has taken the place of the Koseki Tohon (found after a quick googling by my wife).
The thing is, the Zunbu Jiko Shomei only shows her 'Permanent Domicile', which is her mother's address.  Once we move to the US, she'll likely maintain her mother's address as her permanent domicile.
The benefit of having a translation of both of our current driver's licenses will show not only her current address, but mine as well.
