Where can I apply for an apostille in China? 10

From the Asian New Certification Network:

China has not yet signed the Hague Convention, is not a member of the Hague, cannot apply for apostille, and does not recognize Hague documents. At present, Asia and Singapore have received many inquiries about how to handle the apostille of mainland documents, which is applicable to the Hague area, and China has not signed the Hague Convention, which means that China is not a Hague country.

There are special circumstances in China, Hong Kong, China and Macao, China, as special administrative regions of China, follow the foreign notary system and recognize the Hague Convention, so the documents issued by Hong Kong and Macao can be authenticated in the Hague area for use.

"apostille" is French for "authentication", but it is different from "embassy or consulate certification" in China. "Apostille" refers to the mutual recognition between the signatories of the 1961 Hague Convention on the Abolition of the Requirement for the Legalization of Foreign Official Documents, and the process and result of the act of confirming the authenticity of the signatures and seals made by the competent authorities on the official documents by a specific official body, which is a specific kind of "authentication".

So how do you confirm the type of certification of a document?

There are two main types of foreign-related document authentication:

Embassy authentication: It is suitable for non-Hague areas, with a single place of use, a long certification time and cumbersome procedures.

Apostille: It is suitable for the Hague area, covering a wide range of locations, effectively shortening the certification time and simplifying the procedures.

Commonly used apostille documents are:

Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Police Clearance Certificate, Declaration Letter, Power of Attorney, Passport, Academic Certificate, Single Certificate, Death Certificate, Divorce Certificate, etc.

Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Association, Certificate of Creditworthiness, Certificate of Existence, Register of Shareholders and Directors, Board of Directors Resolution, Meeting Minutes, etc.

After having a basic understanding of embassy authentication and apostille, it is easier to confirm the type of authentication, usually according to the country where the document was issued and the place where the document is used.

If a U.S. instrument is used in Hong Kong, and both the U.S. and Hong Kong recognize apostille, only the apostille is required.

U.S. documents, used in Chinese mainland, the United States recognizes the Hague Convention, Chinese mainland does not recognize, need to be legalized by the embassy.

At present, Hong Kong and Macao recognize the Hague Convention, but the mainland does not recognize the Hague Convention, so it is impossible to carry out the apostille in the mainland.

Documents issued by Hong Kong and Macao can be apostilled.

At present, only Hong Kong and Macao are members of The Hague, but the mainland is not, so theoretically China is the Hague State. I heard that Chinese mainland is negotiating the Hague Agreement, because there are many types of documents involved, and it will take time to coordinate. If the document is issued in China, it needs to be handled in the above places; If the document is issued abroad, the apostille is processed in that country.

You can check it on the official website of the customs.

Need. When applying for apostille, it is necessary to provide the applicant's passport, some places only need to provide a scanned copy, and some places need to provide the original. It depends on the country that handled The Hague.

Currently, there are 108 Hague member states, and 42 non-Hague member states are also parties to the Apostille Convention. Chinese mainland has not joined the Hague member states, but Hong Kong and Macao are member organizations of The Hague, so documents that need to be legalized can be notarized by a Hong Kong notary public, and then endorsed by the Hong Kong High Court have the same legal effect.

Legal basis: Rules of the People's Republic of China for the Examination and Issuance of Competency for Seafarers

Article 28 The competency examination includes the theory examination and evaluation. The theoretical examination takes theoretical knowledge as the main test content, and focuses on testing the mastery and understanding of the professional knowledge of seafarers. Through the operation of the corresponding ship, simulator or other equipment, the international common language listening test and oral test, etc., the assessment focuses on the comprehensive application of professional knowledge, operation and emergency response ability of seafarers.

Article 43 The validity period of the recognized visa shall not exceed the validity period of the recognized certificate of competency, and shall not exceed 5 years at most. When the recognized certificate of competency becomes invalid, the corresponding recognized visa automatically becomes invalid.

Apostille is a kind of certification, also known as apostile certification (i.e., international certification).Apostille is not a certification of the content of the required certification documents, nor is it a certification of the authenticity of the content of the required certification documentsThe issuer of the original certification(Notary Public).Two-factor authenticationto certify that the notary public or notary public is qualified to issue the original authentication documents.

IIIt's differentEmbassy authenticationEmbassy and consular authentication can only be used in the local country, such as the U.S. Consulate in China, which can only be used in the United States, and cannot be used outside the United States. If the apostille is not a member state of the Hague but is recognized as the Apostille Convention certification country, such apostille notarization documents need to be apostilled at the local consulate of the notarization before they can be used normally.

Chinese mainland has not yet acceded to the Hague Convention, but it has notChina: Hong Kong, MacauYes, it is possible to apply for apostille.

1. Apostille certification is apostille certification.

It refers to the secondary certification issued by the Hague member state ** agency, the issuer of the original certification, and stamped or labeled on the certificate, this process is called apostille certification (i.e., apostille certification).

2. Any country or region that has joined the Hague member organization can accept the apostille of the document. At the same time, there is no regional restriction on the documents issued by non-Hague member countries, and the documents issued by non-Hague member countries can be apostilled for use by Hague member countries.

3. Apostille can be completed in Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and other regions, and the specific problems can be subject to the actual documents required.

Apostille certification refers to the secondary certification of the issuer of the original certification issued by the national ** agency, and the seal or label is stamped on the certificate, this process is called apostille certification (i.e., apostille certification and endorsement).

It should be noted that China is not a member of The Hague, but Hong Kong, China and Macao, China are members of The Hague, so the requirements for certification subjects in different countries are different.

In short, Chinese mainland companies can do VAT double certification, Hong Kong companies, and American companies need to do apostille.

Apostille generally refers to the use in Hague member states or in areas that recognize the Hague Convention. Apostille is also called single certification, international certification. It is currently the most commonly used type of certification in the world.

Apostille is Apostille. It refers to the secondary certification issued by the Hague member state ** agency, the issuer of the original certification (usually the local notary office or international notary) for secondary certification, and stamped or labeled on the certification certificate, this process is called apostille certification (i.e., apostille certification). Apostille is not a certification of the content of the required authentication documents, but a second authentication of the issuer of the original certification (notary public or notary public) to verify whether the notary public or notary public is qualified to issue the original authentication documents.

Before apostille, the authenticated documents must be notarized first, and then the Supreme People's Court will do apostille, and the whole process can be called apostille or apostille.

Both countries are members of the Hague Convention in order to apply for apostille, which is divided into civil documents and commercial documents.

"apostille" is French for "authentication", but it is different from "embassy or consulate certification" in China. "Apostille" refers to the mutual recognition between the signatories of the 1961 Hague Convention on the Abolition of the Requirement for the Legalization of Foreign Official Documents, and the process and result of the act of confirming the authenticity of the signatures and seals made by the competent authorities on the official documents by a specific official body, which is a specific kind of "authentication".

The general process of apostille is as follows:

It is first submitted to the notary public of the country for notarization.

Secondly, it can be submitted to the country*** or authorized agency for certification, and the additional certificate is apostille.

Apostille certification, also known as apostille certification, is issued by the Hague member countries, is the second level of certification of the issuer of the original certification, and stamped with a seal or label on the certificate, the whole process is called apostille, that is, apostille certification. It should be noted that before doing the apostille, the authentication documents must be notarized, and then the Supreme People's Court should do the apostille.

Apostille in China is handled in **.

Because Chinese mainland does not recognize the Hague Convention and is not a member of The Hague Convention, many friends believe that documents in China cannot be apostilled. In fact, Hong Kong, China recognizes the Hague Convention, and Hong Kong and the United States can apply for apostille for documents from any country, so as long as the country of use of the document is a country of the Hague Convention, the document can be apostilled.

For example, if Bai plans to study in South Korea, he needs to certify the relevant domestic materials and use them in South Korea, which is a member of The Hague, so Bai can find the Yaxin Certification Network, and the documents will be mailed to Hong Kong by the Yaxin Certification Network. If you need to translate, you need to translate the text in advance and then certify it.

Detailed Apostille process:

1.After confirming the country of issuance, the country of use, and the purpose of use of the document, submit the certification information.

2.The information will be notarized by a notary public in the country, and then sent to the *** or Hague office for authentication, and then mailed to the applicant after the authentication.

Cost and Duration of Apostille:

Apostille has certain differences in cost and cycle according to the type of document, the number of copies required, and the different countries.

For the certification procedures, everyone now has a more or less certain understanding. There is more than one way to handle certification, relatively speaking, we are more familiar with single certification and double certification. But in fact, there is another way of authentication, which is called apostille.

In fact, apostille is the most convenient way to handle and has a wider range of applications, but few people mention it. So recently, some people want to know, can you apply for apostille in China?

**Yes?

At present, it is indeed possible to apply for apostille in China, but up to now, only Hong Kong and Macao can handle it, and all other regions cannot handle it, and this authentication method is not recognized.

This is because the apostille is a kind of instrument that circulates within the scope of the Hague Convention countries and regions, and the Hague Convention countries are all the countries and regions in the world that have signed the Hague Convention, and there are more than 100 in total, and only Hong Kong and Macao have signed the Convention in China, so only these two regions can handle and use the Apostille document.

How does it work?

Through the above introduction, I believe it is clear to you that if you want to apply for apostille, then we can only choose to go to Hong Kong or Macao to handle it, and it is not possible to handle it in other parts of the country. Therefore, the handling personnel should pay attention to the need to handle it, then they need to prepare the relevant materials, go to Hong Kong or Macau, and after arriving, they can contact the local international notary lawyer, and then the notary lawyer will handle the notarial certificate. After obtaining the notarial deed, you can submit the notarial deed to the local high court for apostille (apostille).

Apostille China is not recognized for the time being, at present, only Hong Kong, China, and Macao, China are Hague member countries, but the mainland is not, but rest assured, in November, Chinese mainland will join the Hague member system.

5. After the apostille is completed, the paper version will be mailed to the hand, which is very convenient
