Certified English translation
English to Japanese and Japanese to English, certified for official use, plus the legalisation steps that usually follow.
We translate English documents with the certification Japanese authorities expect, and Japanese documents into English in the format the foreign authority expects. Names are transcribed to match your passport, dates are converted between the Japanese era calendar and the Gregorian calendar where needed, and seals, stamps and handwritten margin notes are described rather than silently dropped.
Documents going between Japan and the main English-speaking jurisdictions are normally covered by the Hague Apostille Convention, so a single apostille from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is enough and no embassy visit is needed.
