Japanese-language adoption documents records are issued in Japan, typically by municipal offices issuing family register (koseki) extracts — each with its own layout, seals, and registry references.
Every translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that satisfies USCIS, courts, universities, and other U.S. authorities — and the translation itself is done by a native Japanese speaker who reads these documents every week.
Script and spelling
Japanese records mix kanji, hiragana, and katakana; names are romanized carefully, since kanji readings are not always predictable, and we match any existing passport spelling.
Names, rendered exactly
Japanese names run family name first, and official records are organized around the family register rather than individual certificates; the translation preserves the register structure.
Dates and calendars
Japanese documents are dated by imperial era — Heisei 2 is 1990, Reiwa 1 is 2019 — and every era date is converted to its Western equivalent.
Stamps, seals, and margins
Every stamp, seal, registry reference, and marginal note on the adoption documents is translated or described — nothing on the page is skipped as decoration.
