Keiko N.

I am a certified legal specialist known as Gyoseishoshi based in Osaka, Japan. Gyoseishoshi is a nationally licensed legal professional authorized under Japanese law to prepare a wide range of legal documents, including: Applications for residency status (e.g., Certificate of Eligibility and visa applications) Government license applications Contracts and wills Content-certified mail and notarial deeds Support for notarization at a notary public Legalization at embassies/consulates and apostille certification Obtaining certified copies of family registers (Koseki), removed family registers (Joseki), and residence records (Juminhyo) Obtaining Commercial registry certificates for Japanese companies Accompaniment for procedures at government offices (limited to locations accessible from Osaka City within 1.5 hours one way by train) In addition, I provide immigration consultations and support for government grants and subsidies. Please note: I am not a licensed attorney and therefore cannot represent clients in court proceedings. I have extensive knowledge of immigration matters in Japan, including working visas, spouse visas, permanent residency, long-term residency, designated activities, and naturalization. I am qualified to act as an agent for visa/status applications and can submit required documents to any regional immigration office in Japan using the official electronic application system. Depending on the type of visa, applicants are required to provide various supporting documents to demonstrate their eligibility. The requirements vary significantly based on the applicant's job or personal circumstances, and specialized knowledge is often necessary to successfully navigate the immigration examination process. For clients seeking a Business Manager Visa, I also offer full support for establishing a company in Japan. The process of setting up a company as a non-Japanese national involves complex and often confusing requirements. I assist clients by providing consultation and preparing all necessary documentation to meet legal and immigration standards. Additionally, I have partnerships with specialists in Japanese genealogy. I personally assist descendants of Japanese immigrants in obtaining their ancestors' family registers (koseki) upon request. For those who wish to explore their family heritage in greater depth and create a full family tree, I can collaborate with genealogical experts to provide comprehensive ancestral records and genealogical reports.
