If you also need translations
If you also need Japanese documents translated before your appointment
Certified English translations of Japanese documents come from the same account, delivered as a PDF you can print or upload. These are the ones courts, USCIS, clinics and schools ask for.
USCIS interviews
USCIS requires a complete English translation with a signed certification for every Japanese document in the file, and the officer can ask to see the originals at the interview.
Courts and depositions
The interpreter voices testimony. Contracts, sworn statements, prior transcripts and messages in Japanese come in as certified translations the court can file.
Hospitals and clinics
Immunization records, prescriptions and discharge summaries from abroad go into the chart in English; the same translations serve school enrollment and insurance claims.
Schools and universities
Enrollment, placement and admissions run on transcripts and diplomas in English. The district handles its own notices in Japanese; the family brings the previous school’s records.
Not in the list? We translate 37 document types, from passports and bank statements to patents, each with its own page and the same certification.Browse all documentsCoverage

Japanese FAQ
Answers about Japanese questions.
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Are your Japanese interpreters certified?
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Japanese interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.
02Which delivery modes do you support?
We provide Japanese interpretation on-site, by video (VRI) on any platform, and by phone (OPI). Consecutive (turn-by-turn), simultaneous and whisper (chuchotage) formats are all supported.
03What Japanese interpretation settings do you cover most often?
Japanese interpretation is heavy in patent depositions, M&A, Toyota / Honda / Nissan supplier audits, and pharma FDA / PMDA joint inspections.
04Do you support HIPAA-compliant video for Japanese?
Yes. Clinical VRI sessions run on a HIPAA-aligned platform with a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) on file, encrypted media, audit logs and no retained recordings.
05How do you handle cultural register in Japanese?
Keigo (敬語) register distinctions are legally and commercially meaningful. We brief interpreters and translators on the relationship between parties before assignment.
