Hello
I've lived in Japan for about 4 years now and I've just been requested to provide this certificate. I start a new job next week and as with the occasional foreigner, I had no idea such a certificate existed having never been asked to provide one before and I've never stumbled upon needing to somehow. My last job ended in December 2019 and I've just moved to a new prefecture ready to start my new job next week. I can't call around to my last employer either as they're too far away.
My question is, it seems by law my last employer must provide this certificate upon the request of a former employee (me). My former employer just isn't returning my emails for whatever reason and seems to not be interested in sending me this certificate (it's been a few days now). My new employer has asked for it, but how do I produce it if my previous employer has given me the cold shoulder and "vanished"?
How will not producing one to my new employer affect my stability there?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as it's difficult to find anything useful online elsewhere.
