Marriage abroad

Refer to .

Marriages can be registered at ward or city offices throughout Japan. Canadians planning to marry in Japan should contact the ward or city office in their area of residence (or area of residence of their fiancé) for detailed information.

As part of the marriage registration process, the ward or city office will require you to submit proof that you are legally free to marry. This evidence is accepted in the form of an affidavit that you must swear in person in front of the appropriate authority, by appointment, at the Canadian Embassy or Consulates. You must bring your valid Canadian passport to the appointment. The Embassy/Consulate will provide you with a Japanese translation template for the marriage affidavit.

Once your marriage is registered with the ward or city office, you should ensure that you keep an original of the Certificate of Marriage Registration ("kon-in todoke no juri shomeisho" or 婚姻届の受理証明書) as this becomes your proof of marriage. You can contact your province or territory of residence in Canada to see if they will register your marriage and issue you a certificate.
