If you have been married in Japan and require another original copy of your marriage certificate then you can receive it from overseas with our help.
The first step is to get in contact with us by email ( davidvincenthiggins@gmail.com ). Our office ( Okinawa Translator ) is located in Okinawa, Japan. We need to know your full legal names, birth dates, date of marriage, and which City Office you got married. Next we will call the City Office and confirm that they have your marriage certificate and that you really did get married at that city office.
The second step is for us to prepare a Power of Attorney document specifically designating us to go to the City Office and get another marriage certificate issued on your behalf. We prepare the Power of Attorney and send it to you via an email attachment. After you sign it you will then send it to our mailing address.

#201-10-20 Station Minato, Minato

After we receive the signed Power of Attorney we will then go to the city office and get your marriage certificate and after that we can mail the original copy to you wherever you are in the world.
Hi
I had my marriage certificate and adoption certificate stolen last week. I was married while in the military station in Okinawa from 1984 to 1990. I was marriage on 1/27/1987. It took 3 days and we had to go to the Philippine and American Embassy and then they referred us to a local court house and then back to get the documents translated. I also did an adoption and name change in late 1987 for my three children, but don’t know where. Can you help?
Thanks Rick
I am American and was married to another American while we were both stationed in Japan on active duty in the Navy. We are separated and pending a divorce and I just notices that this is how my name appears on the documents…Michelle WarnerSanders. Sanders is my maiden name and Warner is the name I was using when we got married. Shouldn’t it be the other way around for the document to be legal?
Send me a copy of your original Japanese Marriage Certificate and I will verify how the name is written in Japanese.

I need to get a copy of my divorce decree from Okinawa. How can I do that?
In about 1953, Thomas Joseph Stack an American USAF soldier was stationed in Japan and it was said that he was married in Japan to a Japanese woman. He served in the Korean War. I wasn’t sure if this was true, but I wasn’t sure how to look for or find a marriage certificate that was issued in Japan. I’m not sure if there was ever a marriage, but I was wondering if there was.
Good Morning Thomas Stack, why don’t you email me directly: davidvincenthiggins@gmail.com and we will see if we can help you or not.
