Translation and apostille services in Kumamoto

For people and companies in Kumamoto and the surrounding area of Kumamoto. We handle the translation, the certification and the government counters, and courier the file back to you.

Civil records for residents of Kumamoto 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.

The semiconductor investment around Kikuyo has brought a rapid increase in Taiwanese and international staff needing residence and family documentation.

Once the document is in hand, the apostille route is the same as for the rest of Kumamoto: certification by 熊本地方法務局 where a notary is involved, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs counter in Osaka.

Common questions

Can you collect documents in Kumamoto?
Yes. We arrange a courier pickup at any address in Kumamoto, usually next day, and return the originals with the finished translation by tracked service.
I live in Kumamoto but my family register is elsewhere. Is that a problem?
Not at all — it is the normal situation. Japanese civil records are held by the municipality of your registered domicile, so we apply to that office wherever it is in Japan. You do not need to travel there.
