There is provided a device status notification device that notifies a notification destination, which is connected to a network, of a status change in a device connected to the network through the network. The device status notification device includes a notification destination information table in which a notification destination, to which the status change in the device is notified in a case where there is the status change in the device, is registered, a notification destination validity checking unit that checks whether the notification destination registered in the notification destination information table exists with validity, and a registration deleting unit that deletes the notification destination, of which valid existence cannot be checked by the notification destination validity checking unit, from the notification destination information table.
