A question for the wise. Got a student pregnant down here (as in "there 
is a pregnant student", not as in "I got her up the duff"...)

She is a gaigin, the hubby is Japanese. The guidebook says, "When a 
child is born in Japan, a member of the same household should apply for 
foreign resident registration within 60 days of birth."

Does this apply when only one of the parents is a gaigin? There is 
plenty of time to get an answer from the folks at friendly city hall of 
course, but I'm submitting the manuscript for the new guidebook 
tomorrow, and would rather have the info in now than out.

For most of you with kids I assume they have dual nationality and that 
you will/may have registered them with the relevant gaigokuland 
consulate/embassy, but did you also need to traipse down to city hall?
