公文書管理｜デジタル庁

This page outlines public document management at the Digital Agency of Japan. Based on the Public Documents Management Law enacted in 2009, the government manages public documents under unified rules. Public documents are classified into three categories: administrative documents, independent administrative agency documents, and specific historical public documents. The Digital Agency has established administrative document management rules and retention period standards. The page details the document management process from creation to disposal and provides a whistleblower contact for reporting document falsification, alteration, or improper handling that undermines administrative operations.
