Looking for advice from Americans that got married in Okinawa after the affidavit change

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice about how they handled the affidavit since the consulate stopped providing one. Specifically, I was wondering if an apostille is required in Urasoe, Naha, Ginowan, Chatan, or Okinawa City, or if a remote notarized statement from my home state is acceptable?
