Apostille and legalisation in Okayama
Apostilles from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, plus embassy and consulate legalisation. Available throughout Okayama without you leaving Okayama 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.
The Mizushima industrial complex in Kurashiki drives corporate and technical documentation needs.
We work with clients in Okayama, Kurashiki and Tsuyama, and everywhere else in the prefecture.

How apostille and legalisation works from Okayama
Apostilles are issued only by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For documents from Okayama 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 岡山地方法務局, the Legal Affairs Bureau with jurisdiction over Okayama.
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.
