Important:

The Embassy can only issue eIDs and Kids-ID's for citizens who are registered in the Embassy's consular registers. 

Therefore, if the ID application concerns a newborn child or a person who has not yet been registered at the Embassy in Tokyo, a complete registration application must also be done: Registration
