What is an Apostille Document?

An apostille is an official certificate that proves a document is genuine, so it can be accepted in another country. In simple terms:

• What it is: a certificate attached to your document by the government.
• Who issues it in Japan: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.
• What it confirms: the signature, seal or stamp of the official who issued or certified the document. It does not verify the content of the document itself.
• Where it is accepted: in all countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, with no further certification needed.
• Countries outside the Convention: an extra step, consular legalisation, is usually required (see Consulate Legalisation Services below).

For example, if a Japanese company needs to open a bank account or sign a contract in Spain, an apostilled corporate certificate shows the Spanish authorities that the document genuinely came from the Japanese Legal Affairs Bureau.

Professional Retrieval and Apostille Services for Japan Company Documents

When conducting international business or legal transactions, having authenticated company documents is often a requirement. Japanese company documents are apostilled to confirm their legitimacy for use overseas.

We simplify the process of obtaining apostilled Japanese company documents. We offer a specialised service handling every stage: retrieval of the official document from the Japanese Legal Affairs Bureau, followed by the apostille from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.

Simply provide the company’s name when placing your order. We source the official documents, manage the apostille submission and track every step to ensure timely delivery.

Using our dedicated retrieval and apostille service is particularly beneficial for international businesses, legal professionals, and individuals who require guaranteed authenticity on tight timelines.

Consulate Legalisation Services

We can assist with Consulate or embassy legalisation. While a Japanese apostille certifies documents for use in countries that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, some countries require an additional layer of authorisation. In these cases, company documents must undergo consular legalisation, meaning they must be authorised by the consulate or embassy of the country where the documents will be used.

We understand that navigating consular legalisation can be complex due to varying requirements, forms, and processing times set by different embassies and consulates. Our team is well-versed in the procedures for countries where consular authorisation is mandatory and can handle the entire consular submission process on your behalf, ensuring your Japanese company documents are ready for use in even the most stringent jurisdictions.

If you require these services please contact us using our contact us form or through our live chat.

Apostilled Japanese Corporate Certificate

A Certificate of Good Standing is not issued in Japan. The corporate company certificate confirms the company’s registered details and current status, and states if the company has been reported as dissolved.

The certificate can be apostilled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for use in any country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Please contact us for a quotation.
