Japanese consulates in Alabama

Alabama is served from Atlanta, along with Georgia and the two Carolinas. It is one of the four states in the network's most compact mainland district, and the drive from Mobile is the long one.

Which Japanese consulate covers Alabama?

Alabama is covered by Consulate-General of Japan in Atlanta, and that is the office that handles passports, visas, certificates and family register entries for anyone living here.

What you can settle without going

You can check whether you need a visa at all, because most U.S. passport holders do not for stays under 90 days.

You can fill in Visit Japan Web before you fly, which covers immigration and customs.

You can apply for the eVISA online if your nationality is not visa-exempt.

If you only need a certificate or a registration, check whether it can travel by mail before you plan the drive.

This is an independent guide. It is not the Japanese government, and it does not process applications or book appointments. Details change: check anything that decides a trip against the office itself.
