Apostille on Certificate of Acceptance(juri-shomei) アポスティーユ 受理証明書
Apostille by Japanese MOFA can be obtained directly onto Certificate of Acceptance(juri-shomei) since Certificate of Acceptance is a public document issued by a public authority.
Apostille by MOFA cannot be obtained directly onto the translation of Certificate of Acceptance(juri-shomei) since a translation is not a public document but a private document. In order to get apostille on a translation, the document should be notarized at a notary office before Apostille by MOFA.
Declaration is similar to a translation certificate and a translator will declare accuracy of translation and put his signature. A notary will certify that a translator signs on the declaration.
Once a notary certify a signature of translator, the document will become a public document. So the document will be legalized in the way of Apostille.
If you are required to submit a translation of juri-shomei to a country which is a member of Hague convention, there are six possibilities as below.
If you are required apostille only on a translation, X + S will be processed.
If you are required apostille both on an original and a translation, Y + S will be processed.
If you are required to get Apostille only on the original in Japanese, only Y will be processed.
