How to complete a Konin Todoke Form / Japanese Marriage Application
Regardless of your nationality or passport, to get legally married in Japan you need to have a Konin Todoke Form/ Japanese Marriage Application completed.
A Japanese Marriage Application Form from the city office looks like this:
At the Okinawa Translator Office we have created our own themed version and we believe it is more festive for getting married:
The Japanese Marriage Application form must be completed in Japanese and our office can complete this for you after we have translated your documents into Japanese.
The marriage application must have two witnesses. My wife and I can be your witnesses and as we are Japanese residents we don’t have to come with you to the city office. If you want your own witnesses I will need their full names, birth dates, nationality and local address. They will accompany you at the city office on the day you get married.
If you have any questions about the marriage process in Japan please contact us.

Hi,
I’m Australian nationality and my fiancé is Japanese nationality, was wondering what documents do I need from Australia for us to get married and marriage certificate in japan?
Kind regards,
Yuuko li.
Hi Yuuko, Thanks you for reaching our to me! Yes, we can help. You need to confirm with the city office what documents you need just to confirm although it will most likely be your passport, a CNI and CNI Application issued from the Australian Embassy or Consulate in Japan. If you would like us to research directly to that city office, email me: okinawatranslator@gmail.com
