Which Japanese consulate covers Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico is covered by Consulate-General of Japan in New York, 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 order a koseki copy from your registered domicile in Japan by mail.

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.

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