Marriage in Japan

Welcome to Dave Higgins Office – Your Trusted Partner for Marriage Services in Japan

Since 2012, we have been dedicated to helping foreigners get married in Japan, with our journey beginning under the name Okinawa Translator. Over the years, we’ve guided couples from across the globe through the intricacies of the Japanese marriage process, gaining expertise that allows us to streamline the experience for every nationality.

Whether you’re visiting Japan on vacation or are a current resident, we are here to assist you in making your marriage in Japan a reality. Our website provides detailed information for couples from the United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and Nepal, offering a clear overview of the steps involved and what you can expect.

It’s important to note that marriage requirements in Japan can vary between local village, town, and city offices, even for the same nationality. We conduct thorough research with the specific office where you plan to marry, ensuring that all details are handled with care and precision.

For those planning a wedding while on vacation in Japan, we offer a comprehensive service that takes the stress out of the process. After receiving your documents via email, we prepare everything in advance. Following your visit to the Embassy or Consulate in Japan, you simply send us a photo of the updated documents with signatures and stamps. We then deliver everything to your hotel via Letter Pack Express, ensuring perfect timing for your special day.

Whether you need full marriage assistance or just document translation services between English and Japanese, we are here to help. Reach out to us anytime to discuss your needs and how we can support you.
