A: Can I help you?

B: I want to apply for a visa to Japan. or: for a Japan.ese visa

“A visa for Japan” is possible, but not very common.

Please fill this form out carefully, including your name, ID card (passport) number, gender, nationality, age, etc.

We don’t have universal IDs in the US, so we use our passport numbers.

Please leave (a copy of) your passport and come to pick up your visa in two days.

Wouldn’t you have to leave your actual passport, not just a photocopy of it?

“请留下一张你的护照复印件”
What does “留下” mean? Does the applicant give a copy of the passport to the visa agency? Or does the applicant keep the copy him/herself? If the latter, the correct translation would be, “Please make a copy of your passport and keep it for your records.”

“Please LEAVE a copy” means “leave it here” (at the agency).

Hi JoeTofu, thank you for your comment.

I just checked the original text, it said "请留下一张你的身份证复印件(I made a mistake, I worte 护照复印件 here),两天后再来取签证就可以了。"

I think it means "leave a copy of ID"...

Not a mistake, but it would be more polite to say "I would like" rather than "I want."

Put a comma before etc.
