Certification

How to certify a Japanese translation

For Belarus you need a notarised translation; for Japan, whatever the Japanese recipient asks for. If you are not sure, message us and we will work it out together.

  • A Japanese document for use in Belarus

    You need a notarised translation into Russian. Our translators are listed in the Belarusian notaries’ database of translators. When a Belarusian notary certifies the translator’s signature on a foreign document, the law on notaries does not require an apostille on that document. More about notarisation

  • A Belarusian document for use in Japan

    Japan is party to the 1961 Hague Convention, so a Belarusian document usually gets an apostille rather than consular legalisation. The list of member countries is in the official HCCH status table. We arrange the apostille ourselves. Translation and apostille

  • What the recipient requires

    Each Japanese institution decides for itself whose translation they accept and whether it needs certifying. Check with the university, employer or authority before you order.

Details

How we handle Japanese names and dates

We spell first names and surnames as they appear in the holder’s passport, in Cyrillic and Latin script. Japanese text mixes three writing systems: kanji characters and the hiragana and katakana syllabaries. Foreign names are written in katakana, and there is more than one way to render them back into Cyrillic. So please send a photo of the passport along with the document.

We convert dates given in Japanese imperial eras, such as Heisei or Reiwa, to the familiar calendar. The recipient will not have to work out the years themselves.
