Hello, I am a planning to send a koseki request for my great grandparents and I have all of the other required documents and information all ready. The only thing I’m most sure about is how I will send the payment for the copies from the U.S. I heard that Japan no longer takes international postal money orders since 2020. Should I try emailing the municipality office to see if they will accept any online forms of payment? The municipal office for my family is Suo-Oshima in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Or are there other ways to send payment? Thank you.
