Consular Card
The consular card is the official identity document for Congolese nationals registered at the Embassy. It is required for most consular services.
Official Consular Registration
The consular card (carte consulaire) is the identity and registration document required for Congolese nationals residing abroad for more than 6 months. It serves as:
- Proof of consular registration with the DRC Embassy in Japan
- A document that facilitates administrative procedures
- A requirement for obtaining a new passport
- Access to consular protection and emergency assistance
Note: The consular card is mandatory for obtaining a new passport. Registration with the Embassy is strongly recommended for all Congolese nationals living in Japan — even temporarily — in order to receive consular assistance in emergencies.
