How do you say "When is the deadline?" in Japanese?

Quick use

Use いつまでですか (itsu made desu ka) when you need to know the deadline.

At a public office, this can mean the deadline for submitting a document, finishing a procedure, or responding to a notice.

Chunk or pattern

This is best learned as a short fixed question.

You can say it after pointing to a document or after the staff explains a procedure.

Core words

• いつまで: until when.

Helper words and endings

• ですか: polite question ending.

Practical note

This asks for the final date or time. If the answer matters, repeat the date back or ask them to write it down with かいてもらえますか (kaite moraemasu ka).
