Degree certificates, transcripts, HEARs and school diplomas translated into Japanese and signed by a named professional translator, for work, study and residence applications in Japan.
A diploma and transcript translation into Japanese is often part of applying to work or study in Japan, where your qualifications help show you fit a particular status of residence. VisaDocTranslation translates degree certificates, transcripts and diplomas in full, and a named professional translator signs each one with their full name, contact details and qualifications.
It's £41.99 per page with next-working-day delivery. Many Japanese employers and schools accept English originals for some purposes, so ask whether a Japanese translation is actually needed; our Japanese translation overview explains the rest.

Often, but not always. Work statuses such as Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services usually rely on your degree to show you're qualified, and the Immigration Services Agency asks for Japanese translations of foreign-language documents. Your employer or their immigration adviser will tell you what they're submitting.
For most work visas, the Japanese employer or school applies for your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) on your behalf, and your degree certificate is a key part of the file. The Agency checks that your studies relate to the job, so the subject of the degree matters as much as the fact you have one.
The official position is that foreign-language documents need a Japanese translation. In practice, some sponsors are relaxed about English, so the person preparing your application is the one to ask. If they want Japanese, we'll have it back the next working day.
Degree certificates, transcripts, Higher Education Achievement Reports (HEARs), diplomas, school leaving certificates, A level and GCSE certificates, and letters confirming study or graduation. We translate the full document, including seals and signatures.
UK universities increasingly issue a HEAR instead of a traditional transcript, and it can run to several pages. Every page is translated, including module codes, credit values and the explanatory notes about the UK grading system, because those notes are what make the marks meaningful to a reader in Japan.
If your university only issues an electronic transcript, upload the PDF. If you also need to prove the qualification is genuine, ask your university about verification separately; a translation confirms what the document says, not that it was issued.
Accurately and without inflating it. Classifications such as First Class Honours or Upper Second Class Honours are translated faithfully, and course titles keep their meaning rather than being swapped for a Japanese equivalent.
The UK honours system doesn't map neatly onto Japanese grading, and the 2:1 needs a footnote in almost every language, including English. We translate the classification as it is written, so the reader sees exactly what your university awarded.
Course and module titles are translated for meaning. A degree in "Liberal Arts" or "Human Sciences" can be hard to place, and a careful rendering helps the immigration officer connect your studies to the job description.
Your Japanese school or university usually handles the student COE application and tells you which documents it needs. Many accept English diplomas and transcripts; if yours asks for Japanese, we can translate them.
Japanese language schools in particular ask for proof of your last completed education, and some want a Japanese translation of it. Universities vary more. Their admissions office is the authority on what goes into your file, not a translation company, so check before you order.
Student applications also need evidence that your studies are funded, which is where bank statement translation into Japanese comes in.
