    Starting in September 2025, we have launched a new certificate issuance service. Various types of certificates can be requested and paid for online through this service. Certificates can be printed at multi-function copy machines located in convenience stores in Japan, including Seven-Eleven, FamilyMart, and Lawson. In addition to convenience store printing, certificates can also be received by postal mail or sent as digital certificates (PDF format) via online delivery.
