[First Time Visa Extension] Only got one tax certificate from city hall — is that enough?

Hi everyone,

I'm preparing for my first visa extension and saw that I need two documents from city hall:

  • 住民税の課税証明書
  • 納税証明書

The thing is — I recently moved to a new city, so I went back to my previous city hall (where I lived last year) to get these documents. They only gave me the 課税証明書 and told me they couldn’t issue the 納税証明書 because I haven’t been in Japan for a full year yet.Also, document I received are based on my previous address, not my current one.Has anyone dealt with this before?

Is it okay to go to immigration with just the 課税証明書?Or will they require both no matter what?

I’m a bit nervous about getting rejected or having to start over. Thanks in advance!
