Translation, apostille and interpreting in Saga

Everything we do is available across Saga, from Saga to the smallest municipality, without anyone having to travel to an office.

Ceramics and agriculture, with legalisation generally routed via Fukuoka and Osaka.

Apostilles are issued only by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For documents from Saga we normally use the Osaka counter, and postal applications are accepted from anywhere in Japan. Where a document has to be notarised first, the notary's signature is certified by 佐賀地方法務局, the Legal Affairs Bureau with jurisdiction over Saga.

We work with clients in Saga and Karatsu, and everywhere else in the prefecture.

Region: Kyushu region, population about 0.8 million
Seat of government: Saga

Requirements differ by receiving authority and change over time. We confirm the current requirement with the destination authority before we start.

Documents issued in Saga

Family registers, residence certificates and seal registration certificates are issued by the city, town or village office — in Saga and in every other municipality in Saga. Company registry extracts and real estate records come from 佐賀地方法務局 or one of its branch offices. We can obtain any of these on your behalf under a power of attorney, then translate and legalise them in the same run.

Interpreting in Saga

Interpreters travel to appointments anywhere in Saga, including the regional immigration office, city halls, notary offices, hospitals and company sites. For short appointments, video or telephone interpreting is usually cheaper and can be arranged at shorter notice.

Common questions

Do I need to visit an office in Saga?

No. We collect documents by courier anywhere in Saga and return them the same way, so the whole job runs by email and post. Only interpreting requires someone to be present, and that can often be done by video.

Which apostille counter applies to documents from Saga?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issues every apostille in Japan, over two counters: Kasumigaseki in Tokyo and the Osaka branch office. Documents from Saga normally go through Osaka. Postal applications are accepted from anywhere in the country, and for prefectures at a distance that is usually what we do.

Can you obtain a family register from a municipality in Saga?

Yes. Municipal offices in Saga accept postal applications with a power of attorney, a copy of your identification and Japanese postal payment, which is the part most applicants abroad get stuck on. We handle the application, pay the fee and receive the document for you.
