Translation Certificate (Free of Charge)
Here is a simple explanation of the translation certificate provided free of charge.
This certificate is issued by the only professional in Japan who is both a certified translator and a Gyoseishoshi (solicitor).
It is formatted to meet the requirements of countries from which we frequently receive requests—such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Sri Lanka—and is also suitable for use in other countries.
We also receive requests from attorneys, judicial scriveners, and other legal professionals.
① The logo of Sakura Translation & International Affiairs Firm is included. This office information is required for documents submitted to Australia.
② For the term Gyoseishoshi, the translation uses “solicitor” (a legal practitioner in the UK) and explains that it is also known as an “immigration lawyer” in the United States.
③ The phrase “true and accurate translation” is required for translations submitted to the United Kingdom.
④ Gyoseishoshi Seal: Under the Certified Administrative Procedures Legal Specialist Act, certified specialists must affix their registered seal to documents they prepare.
⑤ English Stamp: A stamp with the office name is applied, and a cross‑stamp is placed across the translation and certificate.
