Abstract: A laser processing method includes: a first step of preparing a wafer including a plurality of functional elements disposed to be adjacent to each other via a street; and a second step of, after the first step, irradiating the street with laser light based on information regarding the street such that a surface layer of the street is removed in a first region of the street and the surface layer remains in a second region of the street. The information regarding the street includes information indicating that, when a modified region is formed in the wafer along a line passing through the street, a fracture extending from the modified region does not reach the street along the line in the first region, and reaches the street along the line in the second region.
