Can you fill residence card address when you are temporarily staying in a hotel? If so, what proof should you show to the post office?

   **Can you fill residence card address when you are temporarily staying in a hotel? If so, what proof should you show to the post office?**

   I want to stay in a hotel first before checking out houses for long term stay,

   I will need to fill the residence card address when Im still staying in the hotel, is that possible?

   If so, what proof should I show to the post office that Im staying in a hotel?

   Thanks!

2. Technically it’s possible, that’s what I did when I first moved to Tokyo. The first address on my residence card is a hotel.

   I went to the ward office (not post office) where the hotel was located along with receipt from my hotel. I don’t think the office even looked at the receipt. I’m not sure if it matters, but the hotel I stayed at did weekly and monthly rentals.
