Apostille by country
Vanuatu documents for use in Japan
Apostille or legalization, certified translation and notary services so that your Vanuatu documents are accepted in Japan.
Documents for work, study, marriage and business with Japan must usually be translated into Japanese.
Authorities in Japan usually work in Japanese. If your document is in another language, we provide a certified translation into Japanese.
Each authority in Japan may have its own rules — an immigration office, a university, a court or a civil registry can ask for different formats. Tell us who will receive the document and we prepare it exactly to their requirements.
Documents we prepare most often
- Birth, marriage and death certificates
- Police clearance certificates
- Diplomas and academic transcripts
- Powers of attorney and affidavits
- Company registration and corporate documents
- Court judgments and divorce decrees
- Medical reports
- Driver's licences

Does a Vanuatu document need an apostille for Japan?
It depends on the document and on the route shown on this page. We confirm the exact requirement for your document before starting, free of charge.
Do I need a translation into Japanese?
If your document is not already in Japanese, authorities in Japan usually ask for a certified translation. We translate both the document and, if needed, the apostille or legalization stamps.

Yes. We handle the steps in Vanuatu on your behalf and send the finished documents to you by courier, in Vanuatu or abroad.
