I found an interesting post here on the forum where apparently a hotel address could be used to register for an ARC by obtaining a certificate of domiciliation 住宿證明.
Hey. I’ve applied for ARC while staying at a hotel. I asked the hotel to fill a certificate of domiciliation (I think it is “住宿證明”.). It was basically a paper saying we were staying at the hotel with the dates of the reservation and their stamp. And it worked. Just need to change the address as soon as You will get your flat.
Now, this is a different case because this is the address for ARC, not the address for HHR.
For the address used for HHR, do you think a certificate of domiciliation 住宿證明 from a hotel would also be enough for establishing HHR for the first time?
I guess the actual order of application would be:
- Apply for 定居證 at NIA.
- After receiving 定居證, apply for HHR at HHR office.
And when applying for 定居證 at NIA, they require a “rental agreement bearing the address”, so the question is if 住宿證明 from a hotel counts as a “rental agreement bearing the address” for the purposes of receiving the 定居證 from the NIA.
