Navigating international document authentication can be complex, especially when dealing with private documents and education credentials. At Dave Higgins Office, we simplify this process by providing a full-service Apostille authentication solution, ensuring your documents meet international legal standards.
Our Apostille Process for Private and Education Documents
For many personal and academic documents, notarization is the first step. This ensures the document is legally recognized within Japan before proceeding with authentication. We work with certified notaries to authenticate the following types of documents:
- Education Documents: Diplomas, transcripts, and graduation certificates.
- Private Documents: Contracts, agreements, affidavits, powers of attorney, and financial statements.
- Certified Copies: If you only have a copy of a document, we can authenticate and apostille it as well.
After notarization, the document proceeds to the Legal Affairs Bureau for verification. Once confirmed, it is submitted for Apostille authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This final step ensures that your document is recognized in Hague Convention member countries without further legalization.
