Notary in Japan - Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union

[BeeQC]

Hello!

My partner and I would like to submit the Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union with our application, but we don't know how to get it notarized... Anyone here know what the equivalent of a notary is in Japan?

Thank you!

Try a city clerk (public/civil servant who works at city hall). In Canada the statutory declaration of common-law union is signed in front of a commissioner of oaths.

Or, try the Canadian consulate in Japan. Ask them if they will sign/affirm/witness your document or they should be able to direct you to someone who can.

google 公証人役場 near you. I believe they have a certain number of them for each area.

And here you can find one for your area:
