The documents must first be notarized (if applicable), authenticated by the Secretary of State, then authenticated by the Chinese Embassy or Consulate as the final step. Steps may vary depending on document type and which state the document is issued from.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese Embassy or Chinese Consulate will verify Secretary of State&#8217;s authentication. After verification, the Chinese Embassy or Consulate General will affix a Chinese Consulate authentication seal and signature to the document.
