It sounds like the koseki (戸籍), then. If in Japan, you can get it from the local city hall where she is registered, I believe. If abroad, I don't know: I guess you should call the local consulate or embassy and ask them.

Thanks for your help. We are now in process of trying to get a certified copy of the koseki. 4 more documents, and completing interview 2 and we should be hopefully granted a visa for my wife. What a lengthy, costly, and cumbersome process. Can't wait til it's over. Thanks again!
