Compliance with the revised Administrative Scrivener Act | Comprehensive in-house business process investigation support

Updated: July 2026, 3

What has changed with the amendment to the Administrative Scrivener Act?

Article 19 of the Administrative Scrivener Act has been amended and came into effect on January 1, 2026.

It has been clearly restricted that individuals or businesses that are not administrative scrivener corporations are permitted to perform administrative scrivener duties "for remuneration, regardless of the name or nature of the request, at the request of others."

What specific impacts will this have?

Are any of the tasks your company performs or outsources included in this?

Due to the amendment of the Certified Administrative Procedures Specialist Act, some of the tasks that were previously handled within a company or its group companies will now be handled by the administrative procedures specialists themselves.
"There's a possibility that only a certified administrative scrivener can handle this."Cases have emerged in which this has been pointed out.

However, in reality,

• What constitutes the exclusive domain of administrative scriveners?
• Does this only apply to the notification, or does it also include the preparation of documents?

Many companies are struggling to determine the appropriate boundaries for such matters, and are having difficulty in responding to them.

Furthermore, it is necessary to check the government office to which the documents should be submitted and the details of the procedures for each task,

These kinds of problems tend to arise.
