Nationality and residence status
The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
Who is eligible
People registered as residents of Higashiyamato City who receive postpartum checkups or the 1-month infant checkup on or after October 1, 2026
Notes
Postpartum checkups are in principle received within 2 months after birth. Vouchers issued by municipalities in Tokyo can still be used after moving into the city.
