Consular Section of the Embassy of Japan in Italy

The Consular Section of Japan’s Embassy in Italy, in Rome, is not a standalone consulate-general. It covers twelve central and southern regions; the eight northern regions belong to the Consulate-General in Milan. Your usual residence is the key to choosing the right office.

Its functions include passports, certificates, family and nationality documents, overseas residence registration, voting abroad and visas for Japan. It also publishes emergency guidance, including steps after a passport is lost or stolen. The appropriate travel document depends on the case and should be confirmed with the section.

The counter operates in two weekday sessions and requires an appointment. The Italian website links to online booking, while current Japanese instructions also describe requests by phone or email; use the channel shown for your procedure and confirm if it is unclear.

The office is at Via Quintino Sella 60. The published consular phone is +39 06 487 991 and the email is consolare@ro.mofa.go.jp. Hikariko Ono is Ambassador. The Embassy is also accredited to San Marino and Malta, though paperwork depends on the service.
