Payslips (last 3 months)

What this document is

The last 3 MONTHS' payslips (給与明細きゅうよめいさい, kyuuyo-meisai) of the SPONSOR (you) — proving your CURRENT income. Especially needed when you're NEW to Japan / just started working and don't yet have a full year of income, so you don't yet have income & tax certificates (課税/納税証明書).

What it must show

3 CONSECUTIVE, most recent months (one image per month)
Clearly show the recipient's name + pay month + total received (支給額しきゅうがく)
The company-issued version (paper or printed from the payroll system)

Where to get it

Your company's HR / accounting department, or print it yourself from the company payroll system (給与明細きゅうよめいさい Web).

How to get it

Request or print the payslips for the last 3 months
Photograph each one clearly — one image per month (3 slots)

Cost & time

Free (issued by the company).

Notes

If you've worked in Japan for LESS than a year: you don't have 課税/納税証明書 yet → submit 3 months' payslips INSTEAD to prove income. If you already have the tax certificates, this is a supporting document for extra assurance.
