What you can settle without going
- You can get an apostille for a U.S. document from the Secretary of State of the issuing state, not from a Japanese consulate.
- You can register your address abroad through ORR net instead of at the counter.
- You can download and fill in the passport application form before your appointment.
If you only need a certificate or a registration, check whether it can travel by mail before you plan the drive.
