Half Japanese Child Citizenship?

Question:


I'm curious. I'd like to have my son registered in Japan so he could have the option for chosing a citizenship when he gets older. His father is a Japanese citizen right now and I am an American citizen. We are NOT married. Do you have to be married in order for our son to be registered in Japan?

Answer:


It is possible but you cannot register him, his Japanese father has to register him on his family registry/koseki.
