Some years ago, Ogaki issued me a piece of paper certifying that I was a resident of the city, and not someone who merely lived in it. Cities in Japan did this after years of pressure by advocates of foreign residents to normalize their status.

What's the difference? Aren't you on the residence roll at the city office, and have your address on your zairyuu card?

Back in the day you factually were not on the residence roll at the city office. You were on a few separate rolls, that had to be special cased for everything (and not infrequently, were not).

Ah, I only moved here in December so only know the current process. Was this what it was like before the rework in 2012?
