Certified Translation of Japanese Koseki (Family Register) in Canada
Are you immigrating to Canada, applying for citizenship, or sponsoring a family member? If you have Japanese documents such as the Koseki Tohon (戸籍謄本) or Koseki Shohon (戸籍抄本), you’ll likely need a certified English or French translation for submission to Canadian authorities. At ANZ Translation Canada, we specialize in translating Japanese family records with precision and full compliance with Canadian legal standards.
What is the Koseki and Why is It Important?
The Koseki is Japan’s official family registry system. It documents vital information including:
Names of family members
Birthdates and birthplaces
Marriages and divorces
Parent-child relationships
Adoptions and deaths
These records are often required by Canadian institutions when verifying family ties for immigration applications, spousal sponsorship, inheritance claims, or citizenship proofs. Canadian immigration authorities, including IRCC, require these translations to be certified and accurate.

Other translators in my area are unreliable and will not even answer the phone. With Speakt I was able to get the job done easily.John Deo CEO TransPro
