As from 1 January 2005, the Japanese Ministry of Land Infrastructure and Transport have introduced new Japanese documentation for used vehicles exported from Japan.
There are now three new forms and Land Transport NZ will accept any of these forms as an alternative to the existing Japanese de-registration certificate. The acceptable forms are as follows:
From 1 July 2005, the following will be the only documents approved for export of used vehicles from Japan. However, Land Transport NZ will continue to accept all four documents for import into New Zealand until further notice.
In this example, KD-UCS69GW is the industry model code and 0013 is the
variant number (both circled in red).
4JG2 is the engine model code and 2205 is the gross weight in
kg (both in double green circles).
The chassis number/VIN is the long code at the top of the form circled in black.
You will not find this example on the database because it was manufactured before 2000.

In this example, E-HP11 is the industry model code and 0031 is the
variant number (both circled in red).
SR20 is the engine model code and 1455 is the gross weight in
kg (both in double green circles).
The chassis number/VIN is the long code at the top of the form circled in black.

In this example, GF-CT34G is the industry model code and 0106 is the
variant number (both circled in red).
4G is the engine model code and 3185 is the gross weight in
kg (both in double green circles).
The chassis number/VIN is the long code at the top of the form circled in black.
This vehicle will be found in the database.

In this example, TA-NCP13 is the industry model code and 0002 is the
variant number (both circled in red).
1NZ is the engine model code and 1205 is the gross weight in
kg (both in double green circles).
The chassis number/VIN is the long code at the top of the form circled in black.
This vehicle will be found in the database.

The following example is a translation of a temporary de-registration certificate (Ichiji Mashou Touroku):
