Here are the three important steps for document authentication:<\/h4>\n

Notary:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>For non-government documents such as affidavit, power of attorney, bank letter, etc., a notary public must notarize the document first; For government documents such as birth certificates, good standing certificates, etc., you will need to obtain a certified copy from the state; notary is not required.\u00a0For University or college degree\/diploma, we recommend to obtain a notarized copy to avoid damage to your original. Please contact your school to obtain a copy.<\/p>\n

State Authentication:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>The Secretary of State Office must certify the notary seal or the certified copy by adding a statement page with a state seal. Some states require county clerk to certify the notary seal first. Federal document and document issued in states under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Embassy in DC will require further authentication from the US Department of State.<\/p>\n

Consulate Authentication:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>The Chinese Embassy or Chinese Consulate will verify the authentication from the Secretary of State Office. Once verified, the Chinese Embassy or Consulate official will add the Chinese Consulate authentication seal and signature to the document. Your document will be authorized for use in China.<\/p>\n
