Apostille and legalisation in Oita
Apostilles from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, plus embassy and consulate legalisation. Available throughout Oita without you leaving Oita or anywhere else in the prefecture.
Japan is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so a document issued by a Japanese public authority usually needs a single apostille from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be valid abroad. Where the destination country is outside the convention, the document instead needs an authentication from the Ministry followed by legalisation at that country's embassy or consulate in Japan. We determine which route applies, prepare any notarisation required first, and run the document through each counter on your behalf.
Beppu hosts Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, one of Japan's most international campuses, generating steady academic document work.
We work with clients in Oita and Beppu, and everywhere else in the prefecture.

How apostille and legalisation works from Oita
Apostilles are issued only by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For documents from Oita 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 大分地方法務局, the Legal Affairs Bureau with jurisdiction over Oita.
You send scans for the quote, post or courier the originals if they are needed, and we return everything together once the last stamp is on the file.
