Apostille Services for China

November 9, 2023 by Admin

China is set to become a member of the Hague Apostille Convention on November 7, 2023. From that date onwards, if you’re looking to apostille your documents for use in China, a state apostille will suffice. For U.S. Federal documents, the apostille issued by the US Department of State will also be adequate, eliminating the need for China Embassy or Consulate legalization services.

This move comes after China officially joined the Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, commonly known as the “Apostille Convention,” on March 8, 2022. The accession streamlines the process for companies and individuals, as foreign documents destined for China will no longer have to undergo multiple rounds of authentication through various authorities, also known as the Legalization Process.

An Apostille is essentially a specialized certificate issued by the Secretary of State, attached to the original document to verify its legitimacy and authenticity. This ensures acceptance in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.

In the United States, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Federal Government (US Department of State – Office of Authentication) are authorized to issue an Apostille. As of November 7, 2023, with China joining the Hague Apostille Convention, any official document intended for China will require an apostille from the Secretary of State’s office. We can handle documents from all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Federal Government for use in China.

The Hague Apostille Convention aims to simplify the authentication of documents for universal recognition. An apostille certifies the official who signed your documents, such as a State official, County Clerk, Notary Public, Superior Court, FBI, U.S. Federal District Court, etc.

China Apostille

August 23, 2023 by Admin

On November 7, 2023, China will join the Hague Apostille Convention.  Documents originating from the United States or notarized within the United States will only require the apostille issued by the Secretary of State’s office for China.  Federal documents for China will only require the apostille from the U.S. Department of State.

We have nine strategically located offices throughout the United States.  Our offices are located in Washington State, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Colorado, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Washington, D.C., New York

For example, if your birth certificate originates from California, the California state apostille will be sufficient for China.  You no longer will be required to legalize the documents through the Embassy or Consulate office.

If you need to apostille a Patent or Trademark for China, the apostille issued by the U.S. Department of State is sufficient for China.

Please call our office so we can provide you the most up-to-date instructions and order forms.

Teaching in China

April 18, 2023 by Admin

Are you planning to teach in China and need to legalize your documents through the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C.  The most common documents we process for China so you can teach there are a bachelor’s degree, TEFL (issued by U.S. company), state issued teaching certificate, and FBI background check for China.

Please note that China will join the Hague Apostille Convention on November 7, 2023.  In the meantime, we can help you with certifying and legalizing your documents through the Secretary of State, the US Department of State, and the Chinese Embassy only.  The China Embassy accept all documents regardless of jurisdiction.  

Starting June 1, 2023, we will only be able to assist you with the state certification for China.  After this date you will need to contact the Chinese Embassy or Consulate office yourself so they can assist you in authenticating your documents.  

In order to process your documents so you can work in China, you will need to provide us the following:

  1. Bachelor’s Degree:  In order to process your degree through the state, you will need to contact the University’s Registrar and request a signed and notarized copy.  We have provided detailed instructions here: https://www.apostilleservices.com/diplomas/ .  Please note that the notary’s signature cannot expire within the next 16 months.
  2. TEFL Certificate: We can process a TEFL certificate if the school is located in the United State and they will provide you a signed and notarized copy.  Please contact the TEFL school and speak with the Registrar.  Please note that the notary’s signature cannot expire within the next 16 months.
  3. Teaching License: A teaching license will need to be signed and notarized by the issuer if the current signature on the license is not verifiable at the state office.  In most cases, the department can attached a signed and notarized cover letter and staple it to the copy of your license.
  4. FBI Background check: Please contact our office so we can recommend an FBI Channeler to help expedite the process of obtaining the FBI background check.  An FBI background check is not notarized.

Certifying documents for China can be complicated and time-consuming. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the legalization process and the unique requirements of this country. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!

Our staff is available Monday-Saturday from 9am to 6pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow-step-by-step instructions.  Please call us at 1-800-850-3441.
