Locate Missing People in Japan

Our Mission Statement:

Our sole mission is to secure the safety and confidentiality of our clients. We do our utmost to carry out investigatory law services to the best of our ability.

Our Services:

As a private investigation firm, we would like to explain the types of services we provide to our clients. These services include but are not limited to:

Skip Tracing, including legal docs, unpaid debts and more.
Locate Heirs or long lost Family Members
Runaway family members

Find People in Japan vs. Other Countries:

Investigative services in Japan differ greatly from those in other countries. There are strict privacy laws and there are no instantaneous search databases that allow investigators to locate individuals’ addresses from a first and last name.

Other differences include the following:

Almost all government registration records are not open to the public with the exception of real-estate registration records and company registration records.
The Act on Protection of Personal Information (effective since April 1, 2005) severely limits the acquisition of personal information by the public.
The majority of government records, which are often open to the public in other countries, are strictly confidential in Japan.
Japan’s government is severely lacking in their documentation of foreign residents due to a small number of immigrants and language barrier issues. This may prevent us from gathering information through government records.

As a result, finding people in Japan may be more time consuming and significantly more expensive than others Western countries.

How We Work Together:

Regarding Reuniting Loved Ones:

We are capable of locating missing persons if provided with any of the crucial information listed below:

Previous address (within five years old)
Parents’ address
The permanent domicile (equivalent of National ID number)

The acquisition of this information greatly increases the likelihood of a successful outcome.

Finding a Missing Person Fees

Japan has increasingly strict industry-wide privacy laws, which leads to increased costs. The more information you can provide about the subject, the smoother the investigation will proceed, and costs will be suppressed.

Rates should be considered a guideline and can vary case by case. At the time of consultation, we’ll ask specific questions then deliver a specific quote for our services.

FAQ’s on Missing Person

Here in Japan, all the personal information is strictly confidential. There are no publicly available government records except real estate registry and company registry records. It is not realistic to find their phone number without knowing their physical location in Japan.

Phonebook entry rate of the landline is less than 15% and landline itself is obsolete. THere is no way to find a cell phone number except getting it form the person himself/herself by physically contacting them.

Well done. Thnks to excellent service, we can meet each other for the first time in 35 years.

I know she is not the 19 year old I first met, or the 35 year old I last met. My hair has also thinned and my waist thickened, as is natural. I plan however to visit her monthly, as long as I can and as long as she is able to meet me.

Again, my sincere appreciation Mr. Koyama for making this possible.
