At Dave Higgins Office, we recently helped a customer who had no idea where they got married in Japan—only that it was “somewhere in Okinawa.” They needed a new copy of their Japanese marriage certificate but couldn’t remember the city, date, or even which ward office they visited all those years ago.
For most people, that would be the end of the road.
But for us? That’s just the beginning.
We are the best reissue service in Japan, and we don’t stop until we find what you need. Whether it’s a marriage certificate, divorce decree, family registry, or birth certificate—if it exists, we’ll get it.
Using just a few small clues—where they lived at the time, what season they got married, and where they might’ve gone out for dinner afterward—we began narrowing down the possibilities. Then we contacted city office after city office, ward by ward, until we finally found the exact place where their marriage was recorded.
Success.
Once located, we requested a new official copy on their behalf, translated it into English with a certified translation, and shipped the full set safely back to the United States via EMS Courier. Quick, secure, and 100% stress-free.
Even if you don’t remember where you were married, we’re ready to track it down for you.
