China Embassy

Are you planning to conduct business in China?   Do you need China Embassy Legalization Services? As the market to legalize documents has slowed for many countries, it has actually increased for the country of China.  In the past two weeks, processing documents through the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C. has been extremely busy.

Many companies in the United States continue to conduct a large portion of their business in China even during a pandemic. Thus, important documents need to be legalized through the Secretary of State, the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., and the China Embassy in Washington, D.C.

We have also been very busy processing documents for clients who need to obtain a Z-VISA for China.  Typically, these clients need to certify and legalize their FBI background check and Degree.

China is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention (Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents).  Documents originating from the USA and destined for this country requires several steps to complete. These steps are necessary in order for the country of China to accept your documents.

Vehicle Title Apostille

by

Do you need to apostille a Vehicle Title?

Has your vehicle been stolen and recovered in another country?  Have you sold your vehicle to a buyer in a foreign country?  Are you moving to another country and want to ship your vehicle there?  Are you a foreign buyer and have purchased a vehicle from the United States?

The most common vehicle titles we apostille are:

  • Car Titles
  • Truck Titles
  • Motorcycle Titles

Note: In order to obtain an apostille on your vehicle’s title, it must be signed and notarized. Below, we have provided step-by-step instructions on how to notarize your vehicle’s title depending on the situation.

Selling Your Vehicle: If you are selling your vehicle to an international buyer, all you need to do is meet with a local notary public and have your vehicles original title signed and notarized.

Vehicle Stolen & Recovered: If your vehicle has been stolen and recovered in a foreign country, go ahead and make a color copy of your title and meet with a local notary public.  You will need to attest that you are the owner of the recovered vehicle and that the color copy is a true copy of the original document in your possession.   This is basically a sworn affidavit.

You can use the following example wording:
“I certify that I am the owner of the vehicle recovered and that this is a true color copy of the original title in my possession.”

Exporting Your Vehicle: Are you relocating to another country?  Go ahead and make a color copy of your title and meet with a local notary public.  You will need to attest that the color copy is a true copy of the original.  This is basically a sworn affidavit.

You can use the following example wording:
“I certify that I am the owner of this vehicle and that this is a true color copy of the original title in my possession.”

Are you currently outside of the U.S. and you are a U.S. Citizen?  Please visit the closest U.S. Embassy to meet with a notary there.  Please contact the Embassy before as most notarization are by appointment only.

Obtaining an apostille can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!

Wedding Apostille

by

Do you need to apostille your Wedding Certificate?

Did you get married in the U.S. and now need to file your wedding certificate with an apostille in a foreign country?  A popular destination most tourists get married is in Las Vegas, Nevada.  A marriage certificate from Nevada requires a Nevada apostille.  If you got married in San Francisco, California, you will need a California apostille.

We can apostille wedding certificates issued from all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For countries who are non-members of the Hague Apostille Convention, we can also process your wedding certificate through the U.S. Department of State and the Embassy or Consulate office.

In order to apostille your wedding certificate, you must mail in the original or a certified copy issued by the County Clerk or State Registrar to our office for processing.  Wedding certificates can only be authenticated from the State of origin.  The Secretary of State does not have the authority to authenticate wedding certificates issued from another state.  For example, a California wedding certificate cannot be processed in New York.

Note: Vital record documents cannot be color copied, emailed, notarized, or uploaded to any website.  Beware of web-sites that ask you to upload your documents! Only original documents can receive an apostille from the Secretary of State.

Not every weding certificate qualifies for an apostille.  We recommend that you mail in the certificate you currently have for review before ordering a new one.  If the State rejects your document, we will contact you with instructions.

Please Note: We can only help you with documents originating from or notarized within the United States and for another country. If your marriage certificate is originating from another country, you will need to contact the correct competent authority to assist you in that country.

Obtaining an apostille can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!
