Consular Section, Embassy of Japan in Ireland

The service list includes Japanese passports, travel documents after loss, birth, marriage, residence, signature, translation and police certificates, as well as family-register and nationality matters. ORR Net supports residence registration and some online procedures. Japanese nationals staying in Ireland for at least three months must register; the Embassy explicitly directs Northern Ireland residents to London.

The office is in the Nutley Building, Merrion Centre, Nutley Lane, Dublin 4. Sydney Parade is the nearest DART station, while buses 4 and 7 stop on Merrion Road, according to the Embassy’s access guide. The Consular Section is open in two weekday blocks and requires appointments. For passports and electronic certificates, confirm whether the specific procedure requires personal collection and whether the receiving authority accepts the digital version.

The Embassy explains the evidence needed for a police certificate, the in-person fingerprint step and an approximate two-month wait. It also announces outreach days for people living far from Dublin. Dates and services vary by event, so old announcements should not be treated as a current schedule. We could not tie a Google review score reliably to this exact address and therefore make no claims about speed or staff interactions from another building’s comments. Start by requesting an appointment and naming the exact procedure.
