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?

01Will USCIS accept your Japanese translation?

Yes. Every Japanese translation we deliver ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets USCIS requirements. It is accepted by USCIS, the State Department, U.S. embassies abroad, U.S. district and state courts, and state vital-records offices.

02Do you preserve stamps, seals and layout?

Yes. We preserve the visual layout of the source: tables, stamps, seals, signatures and hand-written annotations are described or re-created so the translated {language} document reads alongside the original, page for page.

03Do you handle specialist Japanese content (legal, medical, technical)?

We translate Japanese patents, manufacturing documentation, pharma CMC filings and manga / anime / game localisation. Vital records from the koseki (family register) system are handled for USCIS and court use.

04Does each Japanese translation include a certificate?

Yes. Each Japanese translation ships on our letterhead with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy meeting the USCIS requirements for foreign-language documents.

05Is my Japanese content confidential?

Every Japanese file is handled under NDA, encrypted in transit and at rest (TLS · AES-256) and retained per your instructions. HIPAA and GDPR workflows are available on request with a Business Associate Agreement.
