Can I request a copy of Koseki Tohon on behalf of my dad? (I’m not a Japanese citizen)

Hi guys, as the title said, can I request on behalf of my dad to get the Koseki Tohon (I'm not a japanese citizen but is on a child of a japanese national visa)? I'm currently living in Japan and my dad's in another country and can't return on a whim. Basically, I need the koseki tohon in case it's required for renewing my visa that's coming up. Also, if anyone's also a child of a japanese national, is the certificate needed for renewing? I've been searching up different sites and they have conflicting information whether or not it's needed. And another question: Have any of you who is a descendant of a japanese national have applied for a permanent residence visa? I've been living in Japan for over a year but I'm currently unemployed due to my wife (who is a long term visa holder) getting a job in a different prefecture and we had to move. Thanks in advance!
