Philippine Consulate Nagoya: 9 Prefectures, Yen Fees
Department of Foreign Affairs · consular
Quick answer
The Philippine Consulate General in Nagoya covers 9 prefectures and operates by appointment only, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Japan fees are set under Department Order 07-00 at USD1.00 = JPY150, so an ePassport is JPY 9,000 and a lost one JPY 22,500.
Every figure on this page is from Philippine Embassy Tokyo's own published documents.

Japan is served by three Philippine consular missions, and Nagoya is the one covering the middle of the country. It is also the only one of the three that is appointment only.
The three-way split
| Mission | Prefectures |
|---|---|
| Consulate General, Nagoya | Aichi, Fukui, Gifu, Ishikawa, Nagano, Niigata, Shizuoka, Toyama, Yamanashi |
| Embassy Consular Office, Tokyo | Akita, Aomori, Chiba, Fukushima, Gunma, Hokkaido, Ibaraki, Iwate, Kanagawa, Miyagi, Okinawa, Saitama, Tochigi, Tokyo, Yamagata |
| Consulate General, Osaka | Ehime, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Hyogo, Kagawa, Kagoshima, Kochi, Kumamoto, Kyoto, Mie, Miyazaki, Nagasaki, Nara, Oita, Okayama, Osaka and others |
Nagoya takes 9 prefectures, Tokyo 15. Going to the wrong one is the most common wasted trip in Japan. The Tokyo Embassy guide and the Osaka Consulate guide cover the other two.
Hours, and the appointment rule
| Business hours | 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., BY APPOINTMENT ONLY |
| Address | Hiroya Building, 3-31-3 Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya-shi, Aichi-ken 460-0008 |
| Telephone | (+81 52) 211 8811 |
| Fax | (+81 52) 265 9700 |
| Emergency | (+81 90) 6580-6724 |

Osaka publishes the same 9:00 to 5:00 hours but as Mondays to Fridays without the appointment-only condition. Nagoya’s schedule carries it in capitals.
Why the fees are in yen
The Japan schedule states the mechanism most posts leave implicit:
SCHEDULE OF SERVICE FEES UNDER D.O. 07-00 New Collection Rate @ USD1.00 = JPY150 Effective 1 October 2024
So the underlying figures are dollars, set by Department Order 07-00, and each post converts. JPY 9,000 is US$60 at that rate. That multiplication is arithmetic on the stated rate.
Passport and travel document
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| ePassport | JPY 9,000.00 |
| Amendment or extension | JPY 3,750.00 |
| Replacement of lost or mutilated passport | JPY 22,500.00 |
| Additional: Affidavit of Lost and Penalty Fee | JPY 7,500.00 |
| Replacement of lost MRP | JPY 13,500.00 |
| Travel document in lieu of a passport | JPY 4,500.00 |
| Expedite fee | JPY 1,500.00 |
| Convenience fee, eVisa | JPY 3,750.00 |
A lost passport is two charges, not one: JPY 22,500 plus JPY 7,500 comes to JPY 30,000, which is JPY 21,000 more than a straightforward ePassport. Both sums are arithmetic on the schedule.
The passport renewal abroad guide covers the requirements common to every post, and the passport renewal Japan guide covers the Japanese checklist.
Certification and miscellaneous services
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Marriage solemnization | JPY 9,000.00 |
| Registration of election of Philippine citizenship, or reacquisition by repatriation | JPY 3,750.00 |
| Administering an oath and certificate, including civil registry reports of birth, marriage and death | JPY 3,750.00 |
| Acknowledgement of a deed or power of attorney | JPY 3,750.00 |
| Authentication of a foreign or local notary or official | JPY 3,750.00 |
| Taking, transcribing and recording depositions, per page | JPY 3,750.00 |
| Certifying the correctness of a copy or extract | JPY 3,750.00 |
| Certificate for sealing a metal casket carrying the remains of a deceased Filipino | JPY 9,000.00 |
| Other certification | JPY 3,750.00 |
JPY 3,750 is the unit almost everything here is built from, and it is US$25 at the stated rate.
The deposition line is per page, so length is what makes it expensive.

The Chinese-national single entry is the cheapest 9(a) on the schedule at JPY 3,750, but its multiple-entry rates are the most expensive of the three groups. That inversion is unusual and is on the schedule as published.
The dual citizenship guide covers RA 9225 for former Filipinos, which the 13(g) line touches from the visa side.

What this page does not cover
The fee schedule read for this guide is the Japan-wide one published by the Embassy in Tokyo. The Consulate General in Nagoya’s own website, nagoyapcg.dfa.gov.ph, was not readable when this page was written: it returns 403 to a direct request and its anti-bot interstitial did not clear in a browser. So anything Nagoya publishes only on its own site, including processing times, documentary checklists and its appointment system, is not stated here.
The schedule also does not publish passport processing times for Japan.
