Initially, these cards were prepared to serve as the data base for the issuance of various certificates required by Japanese government laws and regulations and the United States Immigration Law, as well as for the purpose of compiling census or other statistical reports. The cards are grouped into three major sets. The first set contains over 42,000 cards of the households who completed the registration between 1920 and 1924; the second includes 8,333 individuals and families who registered during the period from 1925 to 1940; and the third 82 cards of those Japanese who registered in the year 1941.

Entries on each card include: names and place of birth, social status (shizoku [characters] or heimin [characters]), marital status, profession or occupation, names and ages of family members, their relationships to the household-head (kach [characters]), the date of arrival and the port of original entry, property holdings (if farming, whether or not the family owned land and how many acres they were farming), and current address.
