Official document authentication for international use.
China officially joined the Hague Apostille Convention in March 2023, and the agreement came into force on November 7, 2023. This allows the country to issue apostilles for official documents such as certificates, agreements, registration documents, and personal identification documents. As a result, documents issued in China and certified with an apostille are now recognized in more than 120 member countries of the Convention, significantly simplifying their use abroad.
Step-by-step procedure
Initial Consultation
We conduct a consultation to determine the purpose of apostille certification and clarify the specific requirements for the documents based on the target country or situation. Together, we define the list of required documents and the timeline.
Document Preparation
We review your original documents that need apostille certification and collect any additional information if necessary. We ensure the documents are in proper condition and meet all requirements for apostilling.
Translation and Notarization
If needed, we arrange translation of your documents into Chinese or any other required language, as well as notarization to ensure they meet legal standards in China and abroad.
Submission to the Apostille Authority
We submit your documents to the appropriate government authority responsible for issuing apostilles—whether it is the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or another relevant institution.
Monitoring and Process Tracking
We track the status of your documents at each stage of the apostille process to promptly respond to any inquiries or delays from government authorities.
Receiving Apostilled Documents
Once the process is complete, we collect the documents with the apostille attached and verify the accuracy and completeness of all stamps and certifications.
Delivery of Apostilled Documents to the Client
We arrange secure delivery of your apostilled documents, either via courier or personal handover, depending on your preference.
