Documents for Japan: legalization and translation
Studying, working, marrying or settling in Japan, or need to file a document from Japan in Peru? We tell you the exact procedure and handle it for you.
Apostille
Japan is party to the 1961 Hague Convention, so Peruvian public documents are legalized with an apostille from Peru's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and documents from Japan with an apostille from the competent authority in Japan.
Peruvian documents for use in Japan
- Obtaining the document (if you don't have it, we request it for you).
- Apostille of the original at Peru's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- Certified translation into the language required in Japan, including the apostille.
- Digital delivery and/or shipping of the originals to Japan.

Documents issued in Japan must carry an apostille from Japan. If they are not in Spanish, they are filed in Peru with a certified or official translation. We handle the translation and, if needed, the apostille at source.

Requirements may change and vary by institution. We always verify the current procedure before starting your case.
Frequently asked questions
Is the translation done before or after the apostille for Japan?
Usually the original is apostilled first and then everything is translated, including the apostille. Some institutions in Japan ask for the reverse order; we confirm before starting.
Can I do everything from abroad?
Yes. Many clients contact us from Japan. We request, legalize and translate your Peruvian documents and ship them to you.
