General Information about Apostille

Providing apostille services in Tokyo, Japan and 90+ countries.

Apostille system came into practice seeing the need for a more efficient system of attestation of documents. Many countries felt the need to eliminate the complicated process. Hence, to ease trade and movement between countries and entered into a treaty abolishing the lengthy process. This agreement is known as The Hague Apostille Convention.

The members of this convention agreed to simplify the legalization process and decided on a one-time authentication by the issuing country’s authority which will be accepted by all the member countries. In Japan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan issues the apostille directly on the public document and you need to go through Notary Office to issue apostille on Private document.
But some of countries including UAE, China, Vietnam are not a member of this treaty yet and follows the legalization process.

We, at CUTBELL, can assist you with the documents moving between member countries of the convention. We provide apostille services for any kind of document from Japan.
