Japanese Company Registry Service
Certificates of Japanese Companies Obtained for You
Do you need an official registry certificate of a Japanese company for litigation, a transaction, or due diligence?
It's surprisingly difficult to obtain one from outside Japan. We can obtain one for you from the Legal Affairs Bureau and deliver it wherever you are.
- Operated by a Japanese attorney
- English translation and apostille available
- Starting at JPY 30,000 per certificate
Why it is difficult
Why is it difficult to obtain from abroad?
Commercial registry certificates are public documents in Japan, but the process is designed for people in Japan.
Payment in Japan
Fees must be paid in Japan, and foreign credit cards are generally not accepted.
Domestic Mailing
Certificates are mailed to a Japanese address, so you need someone in Japan to receive and forward them.
Finding the Right Company
Japanese companies are registered under their Japanese names. Matching an English name or website to the correct registration is often the hardest part.
