Translation and apostille services in Sapporo
For people and companies in Sapporo and the surrounding area of Hokkaido. We handle the translation, the certification and the government counters, and courier the file back to you.
Civil records for residents of Sapporo are issued by the municipal office, but only if your family register is registered there — if your honseki is in another municipality, the application has to go to that office instead. We check which office holds the record before applying, which avoids the most common reason applications come back rejected.
Japan's northern island, with a large agricultural and tourism workforce and growing numbers of Vietnamese, Indonesian and Filipino residents on specified skilled worker status.
Once the document is in hand, the apostille route is the same as for the rest of Hokkaido: certification by 札幌法務局 where a notary is involved, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs counter in Tokyo.
