Hello.

My grandmother was a Japanese national that passed away a few days ago. She had become a citizen of the USA in the 1960’s (I think.) My father (her son) isn’t interested in notifying the consulate. How can I go about doing this?

  1. I’m sorry for your loss. If she switched nationality in the 1960s, she probably was no longer a Japanese citizen. And then the consulate wouldn’t really care, I imagine. The consulate or embassy surely have a phone number and somebody who speaks enough English to tell you what or indeed if you need to do anything.

  2. I think you should contact the embassy and inform them by sending a certificate of death. It is important for the case if you want to issue any visa or documents from Japan in the future. When you inform them, the change the 戸籍to除籍.

  3. why am i getting downvotes? i love my grandma and am trying to do my best even though i know nothing about how …these things work? are you all mad that she became a US citizen? She busted her ass to make sure my family had a good life.
