I am a Japanese national applying for marriage based AOS.

 

Japan does not have birth certificate but have family registries. I have a copy and can self translate - however I read that it has to be an official translation/certified... BUT Japan does not provide any of these services. 

 

Should I just self-translate and send it? What are my option?

I'm not sure about the family registries, but in regards to the birth certificate; the birth certificate has to an official one, but the translation does not need to be.  Although having a third party translate would probably be better, you should be able to self-translate it as long as you provide the following information with the translation under the instructions to provide a signed document stating you are capable of translating with your information from the I-485 instructions attached below.  I found this thread discussing it previously:
