I have a blue folder at home. It includes every non-redundant scrap of paper I've been issued by the government and lots of notes.

As you might imagine, involvement in the community sometimes exposes me to people who are less sophisticated with regards to compliance.

This can be very unfortunate for them, of the general flavor "Get run around by state machines because you forgot to get a piece of paper."

That piece of paper might be e.g. a thing attesting to you being a resident of X City prior to moving from it to Tokyo.

That piece of paper is something that reads to socially established people as "Trivially available; you just ask for it and pay $3."

It is rather less trivially available when you find out you needed it by two weeks ago to enroll a kid in school, and must get it in person.

"Get it in person" is a thing which strikes socially established people as not difficult, since they don't think "$300 ticket + 8 hours."

"Get in person" also implies "during business hours." Government makes some assumptions as to one's general availability during them.

Literal conversation which happened: "Could we possibly pre-file for that today? I can't miss work." "No, but your wife can pick it up."
