Hello,
I'm applying for a COE to move to Japan as a dependent, and I have a couple of questions.
Previously, when I lived in Japan, I got a couple of speeding tickets. I've forgotten the details, but they weren't serious, just unfortunately consecutive, so I paid my fines and went to traffic school and learned to be a better driver. I was told that was the end of it.
Since then, I have left Japan and am now planning to move back. So:
1) Do I need to report these tickets on my COE application? My searches have found people saying no, but I've also seen people saying that things have changed recently and I do need to report them now, so I'm confused.
2) Since this was years ago, and I don't recall the details, how can I get my driving record from outside of Japan? Or, can my sponsor get it on my behalf?
Any links to official sources or lawyers are appreciated. Thank you!
