Translation and apostille services in Yokohama
For people and companies in Yokohama and the surrounding area of Kanagawa. We handle the translation, the certification and the government counters, and courier the file back to you.
Civil records for residents of Yokohama 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.
Yokohama's port businesses, the Yokosuka naval community and Kawasaki's manufacturing base each bring distinct document needs, from bills of lading to US military marriage paperwork.
Once the document is in hand, the apostille route is the same as for the rest of Kanagawa: certification by 横浜地方法務局 where a notary is involved, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs counter in Tokyo.
