When does the Saitama driving license center release new appointment slots?

  • March 14, 2026

I’m currently living in Saitama and need to convert my foreign (Taiwanese) driver’s license to a Japanese one, mainly so I can start using カーシェア.

However, I’ve been checking the reservation system right after midnight (00:00) for several days in a row, but there are never any available dates to select.

Does anyone know exactly what time the Saitama system releases new appointment slots?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated![](https://www.reddit.com/submit/?source_id=t3_1rtngpr&composer_entry=crosspost_nudge)
