Translation, apostille and interpreting in Saitama
Everything we do is available across Saitama, from Saitama to the smallest municipality, without anyone having to travel to an office.
Kawaguchi has one of the largest Chinese and Kurdish populations in the country, and commuter access to the Tokyo apostille counter is under an hour.
Apostilles are issued only by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For documents from Saitama we normally use the Tokyo (Kasumigaseki) 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 さいたま地方法務局, the Legal Affairs Bureau with jurisdiction over Saitama.
We work with clients in Saitama, Kawaguchi, Kawagoe, Tokorozawa and Koshigaya, and everywhere else in the prefecture.

Documents issued in Saitama
Family registers, residence certificates and seal registration certificates are issued by the city, town or village office — in Saitama and in every other municipality in Saitama. Company registry extracts and real estate records come from さいたま地方法務局 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 Saitama
Interpreters travel to appointments anywhere in Saitama, 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.
