    輸出抹消登録証明書

    Shaken Certificate / Vehicle Inspection Booklet

    車検証

    Registration Certificate

    登録証明書

    Deregistration Certificate

    抹消登録証明書

    What Importers Are Saying

    "Casey provided me with a translated copy of my Japanese title in a very timely manner and at a very reasonable price! would definitely recommend to anyone else needing a certified translation!"

    Chris W.

    "Casey Carmical has been my go-to guy for translating documents from Japanese to English. He has helped me translate documents for importing Japanese vehicles to the US on multiple occasions and is always friendly, translates documents accurately, has a quick turn-around time, and very reasonable pricing."

    Zane R.

    Why You Need a Certified Translation

    Most countries will not allow you to register a Japanese import without an English translation of the export certificate. In the United States, this applies to both federal customs clearance and state DMV title registration. In the UK and Ireland, the DVLA and NCTS require it. Australian state authorities require it as well.

    An uncertified or machine-translated document is commonly rejected. A certified translation from a qualified translator carries a signed statement of accuracy and is accepted as a legal document.
