Translation and apostille services in Kyoto
For people and companies in Kyoto and the surrounding area of Kyoto. We handle the translation, the certification and the government counters, and courier the file back to you.
Civil records for residents of Kyoto 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.
Kyoto's universities and research institutes mean a constant flow of academic credential translations for students heading abroad.
Once the document is in hand, the apostille route is the same as for the rest of Kyoto: certification by 京都地方法務局 where a notary is involved, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs counter in Osaka.
