License and work

Got up early today and headed out to Samezu. After the same orientation from last time each of the 13 people there took the test. I was one of three that passed. After passing the test I had to pay 2100 yen and then wait 30 minutes to receive a PIN code for the license. After receiving my code I headed downstairs to the picture room and got my picture taken. Once the picture is taken it takes about an hour to make the actual license so I headed across the street for Sukiya. When I got back I waited a bit longer and then got my license. The final step was to take the license and put it on a IC card reader to check that the data registered with the card matches up in the database. With my new Japanese driver's license I headed home and then worked in the evening like usual.
