For example, an American planning to marry in Japan completes an affidavit of competency to marry in accordance with the law of his/her state and has it notarized by a consul.
Halimbawa, kailangan ng isang Amerikano na nais magasawa sa Japan ang apibadit na nagpapatunay na wala siyang sagabal para magpakasal. At ito ay kailangang notaryado ng isang konsul.
