There is no fee to issue certificates. It usually takes three business days after the arrival of your request (might take longer for certificates in English or other specialized ones). The certification uses forgery prevention paper and is not sent in a sealed envelope unless requested. To request the certification of a sealed copy, send a copy of the document which specifically states this request.

** If your current name is different from the one registered at JAIST, send an evidential document attesting the change.
