Parking space use consent certificate (shodakusho)
If you don’t own the land, the owner or management company must fill in a 保管場所使用承諾証明書.
Contents3
When do you need it?
- Monthly rented parking (月極駐車場)
- Parking at a rented apartment
- Land owned by family (parents, spouse…)
- Co-owned land
How to get it
- Ask the owner or management company for a "車庫証明用の".
- They confirm the location, your name and address, and the use period.
- They fill it in (and may stamp it).
Management companies may charge a fee. Some prefectures accept a copy of the parking lease instead.
Our tool prints a pre-filled certificate with your details; the owner only signs.
Your own land? Use the self-declaration (jininsho)
If the space is on land or a building you alone own, you don't need a consent certificate: you fill in a (自認書, officially 保管場所使用権原疎明書面) yourself.
| Land owner | Document |
|---|---|
| You only | 自認書 (self-declaration) |
| You + others | 自認書 + consent of the co-owners (varies by prefecture) |
| Family only | Consent certificate |
A common trap: you own the house, but the land is registered in a parent's or spouse's name. The document tool creates the self-declaration too.
