Remote photoduplication service for overseas patrons

You can request photocopy without visiting our library and receive them by courier or postal mail.

This service is the same as for "Remote photoduplication service for patrons in Japan", except for the following:

Copies and an invoice are sent by airmail. Airmail does not have a tracking number. If you would like a tracking number to prevent postal accidents, you can use an EMS service. In this case, you have to specify EMS in the "Notes on shipment" column of the "Remote request for photoduplication" screen of NDL Online. Please note the areas EMS is deliverable depend on Japan Post. Before selecting EMS, please check the Japan Post website.

Various copying methods are used depending on the materials to be copied. Please confirm the type of materials in the corresponding bibliographic information. Please note that the requested copying method or the copying service itself may not be available owing to the condition of materials or other reasons.
