Certified Translation into Japanese (翻訳証明書)

A translator-signed certified translation into Japanese with a 翻訳証明書, for use with Japanese authorities. £41.99 per page all inclusive, delivered in 24 hours.

  • £41.99 per page, all inclusive
  • 24-hour delivery
  • Translator’s name, address and signature

Japanese authorities want to see who translated your document. The Immigration Services Agency asks for the translator’s signature (翻訳者の署名); the Legal Affairs Bureau asks for the translator’s address, name and the date of translation (翻訳者の住所・氏名・翻訳年月日); and municipal and ward offices ask for the translator’s signature (訳者の署名). Our certified Japanese translation is signed by a named translator and comes with a 翻訳証明書 — a certificate of accuracy carrying those details. £41.99 per page, all inclusive, delivered in 24 hours. For naturalisation applications to the Legal Affairs Bureau we write personal names and birthplaces in katakana rather than the Latin alphabet, which is what the bureau expects.

FAQ

Questions about this service

What is a 翻訳証明書?

It is the certificate of accuracy attached to a Japanese translation. It states that the translation is accurate and complete and carries the translator’s name, address, signature and the date of translation — the details Japanese immigration, the Legal Affairs Bureau and ward offices ask to see.

How much does a certified Japanese translation cost?

A flat £41.99 per page, all inclusive — translation, the 翻訳証明書, the translator’s signature, digital signing and email delivery. Nothing is added at checkout.

Can you translate documents for a naturalisation (帰化) application?

Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons people order it. For Legal Affairs Bureau naturalisation applications we write personal names and birthplaces in katakana rather than the Latin alphabet, which is what the bureau expects.

Can I use it to convert my driving licence in Japan?

No. Licence conversion (外免切替) only accepts translations from JAF, a small number of named providers, or your embassy, so we cannot certify a translation for that purpose.

How quickly can I get it?

24 hours from payment. Rush delivery is not offered on this service, because a named translator reviews and signs the document before it is released.

Can you translate from a language other than English into Japanese?

Yes. Tell us the source language when you upload your document and we will confirm before you pay.
