If you were married in Okinawa or Japan and need to authenticate your marriage documents for usIf you were married in Okinawa and need to authenticate your marriage documents for use in mainland China, we can assist with the Apostille process. This service applies to any type of document issued by the Japan City Offices in Okinawa, and we work with the relevant authorities to ensure all necessary steps are completed accurately and efficiently.
Understanding the Apostille Process
The Hague Convention Apostille is a simplified method of document authentication that allows for the international recognition of documents. Previously, marriage documents and other official documents had to be authenticated at the Chinese Embassy and Consulates. However, with the adoption of the Apostille process, this requirement has changed, making the authentication process more straightforward.
When submitting documents like a Marriage Certificate for Apostille, personal attendance is typically required. However, if you’re not located in Okinawa or are unable to attend in person, we offer a service to handle the entire process on your behalf.
Our Services Include:
Reissuing Original Documents
If you need a new copy of your original document, such as a Marriage Certificate or Family Registry, we can retrieve it from the appropriate Japanese office in Okinawa.
