Translation and apostille services in Shimonoseki
For people and companies in Shimonoseki and the surrounding area of Yamaguchi. We handle the translation, the certification and the government counters, and courier the file back to you.
Civil records for residents of Shimonoseki 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.
Shimonoseki's ferry links to Korea and China support ongoing commercial and personal document traffic.
Once the document is in hand, the apostille route is the same as for the rest of Yamaguchi: certification by 山口地方法務局 where a notary is involved, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs counter in Osaka.
