Translating a document from Japan for a Canadian application
Japan does not issue separate birth, marriage or death certificates: these events are recorded in a single family register, the koseki. Japanese documents therefore call for particular care — imperial-era dates, name romanization, coded parentage entries — before they are filed with a Canadian application.
