Certified translation in Tokyo
Translations accepted by immigration offices, courts, universities and registrars. Available throughout Tokyo without you leaving Shinjuku or anywhere else in the prefecture.
Every certified translation is delivered with a signed statement of accuracy on our letterhead, the translator's credentials and our company seal, in the format the receiving authority expects. We match the layout of the original page by page, transcribe seals and handwritten annotations, and keep names consistent with your passport spelling.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs apostille counter in Kasumigaseki and almost every foreign embassy in Japan are located here, which makes same-week consular legalisation realistic.
We work with clients in Shinjuku, Shibuya, Minato, Chiyoda, Setagaya, Adachi, Edogawa, Toshima, Hachioji and Machida, and everywhere else in the prefecture.

How certified translation works from Tokyo
Apostilles are issued only by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For documents from Tokyo 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 東京法務局, the Legal Affairs Bureau with jurisdiction over Tokyo.
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.
