I would like to know how to get back to Japan as soon as possible with my son (Japanese passport expired, US passport still valid) after his mother in Japan was diagnosed with an incurable disease. I have tried to make an appointment through the Los Angeles Consulate website, but no one can make an appointment until the end of April, and no matter how many times I call, I cannot get through. I believe that a consulate is only supposed to deal with us, Japanese citizens living abroad in California.
I would like to know from all of you how to handle cases like mine and my son's.
Please help us.

I read ＃1 and I thought I would have to have a Japanese passport at this point
＃ I thought ？ what the hell are you talking about
Normally, if your Japanese passport is expired and you want to reapply in the US, you would need a copy of your family register or something.
But if you were born here, you don't have a family register in Japan, so what do you do? ？
Well, if the parents have a Japanese passport, the child is their immediate family and they can get an exception. Even if their passports are expired, they are still legally Japanese living in the US, so I guess the only thing to do is to call the consulate and contact them again and again. I'm sure a lawyer would be quicker.

The consulate has specific times of day when you can call, depending on what you want to ask, so you should check the consulate's website before calling. I called several times around the end of March for other matters, and the calls were usually connected. I think there must be something they can do, since your son is still a Japanese citizen even though his passport is expired ・ ・.
Anyway, I think you have to call and tell them what happened.

I was unable to apply in time for a Japanese passport for a one-month-old baby born here, so I returned to Japan in January with only an American passport. （ He was in the Japanese family register. ）

I am sure it will be fine, but it would be safer to check with the consulate.

I found this information on the consulate's website.
A "travel document for return" is issued in lieu of a passport in case of an urgent need to return to Japan. It will cease to be valid upon your return to Japan. It is not valid for entry into any other country.

If it's a child, there's no problem with dual citizenship, so you could enter the country with either passport.

My daughter also had to return to Japan with only an American passport because her Japanese passport did not arrive in time.

At LAX and at the airport in Japan, we had to show our daughter's birth certificate.

Since we were planning to stay in Japan for a long time, we were issued an entry permit ？ or a Japan stay permit ？ at the Japanese airport. It took about an hour at the airport.

It seems you don't need one if you stay in Japan for a short time.

After entering Japan, I sent a copy of my family register to the airport to get an entry permit.

I was able to return ！

I needed my US birth certificate at LAX and at the Japanese airport to confirm parent-child relationship.
After returning to Japan, I ordered a copy of my family register or something else from the city office and sent it to the airport in Japan.

The other day, I noticed a week before my child's passport was due to expire, and when I called to make an appointment, they were very helpful and made an appointment for two days later over the phone! Before Corona, when I was returning to Japan, I was told by the immigration office that even though I was a Japanese child, I might be refused entry if I only had an American passport, and since I was returning to Japan in about 10 days, I asked them to issue a travel document. I remember that it took only a few days. With that travel document, I entered Japan and had my passport made in Japan. I am in Corona now, so I am not sure about the situation, but I think the best thing to do is to call the consulate and ask them.

I'm talking about the current American travel ban in the current corona.
You know ？ US passports can't enter Japan.
But my parents are not allowed to enter Japan with a US passport. But if your parents have Japanese passports, you can travel even if they have US passports.
Do you not understand unless I explain that much ？ or are you just an idiot ？?

I had my passport renewed a while ago.
The passport appointment from the consulate website fills up in seconds as soon as it opens, so stand by in advance of the time and make your appointment as fast as you can. I hope you get your passport safely ^_^.

Tobinushi-san, you asked a question and complained and then made no comment at all.
Now that we are in an emergency situation close to the time of war, it is not surprising that there are many inconveniences ？
I think we should rather be thankful that we have a consulate nearby.

I also want to make an appointment, so I stand by every day before 9:30 and try to apply at the same time for 30 minutes, but always within 10 seconds, I can't make an appointment because the room is full.
Now I can't help but wonder if there are that many people who make reservations every day. I try several times a day, but anyway I can't make a reservation at all.
I have been unable to make a reservation for so long that I sent an email to the consulate. I have been unable to make a reservation for so long that I sent an email to the consulate. I will wait for further action, but the reservations are only available in the morning and the system does not seem to be up to date （ The date on the page is still June 2020 ） Please think of a more fair system or method to make reservations.

On the third day, I was able to get an appointment for my passport renewal this morning.
The trick is to get it confirmed next to 9:30am ？
I'm going to keep going until it's confirmed.
There is no time to read. ！
Good luck ！.
