What you can settle without going

You can get an apostille for a U.S. document from the Secretary of State of the issuing state, not from a Japanese consulate.

You can register your address abroad through ORR net instead of at the counter.

You can download and fill in the passport application form before your appointment.

A single visit can often cover several services, so ask what else you can bring while you are there.

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.
