You can choose to authenticate the original diploma or a certified copy, also known as true copy. We <strong>recommend<\/strong> to have a <strong>certified copy<\/strong> authenticated to avoid damage or loss to your original document. You must contact your school&#8217;s Office of Registrar for a certified copy. This step can also be used for other academic records such TESOL, TEFL and transcripts.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Requirements for Notarized Diploma<\/h4>\n<p>Any academic record must be notarized by a local notary public in the state where it originated. The notarized document must include <strong>two<\/strong> separate statements: a declaration and an acknowledgement.<\/p>\n<p>A notary public cannot simply add a signature and seal to the document. The Chinese Consulate routinely rejects diplomas that solely bear a notary statement. The <strong>declaration must be applied by the school registrar<\/strong> and the <strong>acknowledgement must be from the notary public<\/strong>. Both statements can be printed, typed or stamped on either the front or back side, or on a separate paper attached to the diploma.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">*Certain states require a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaentryvisa.com\/en\/visa\/4394\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">County Clerk<\/a> to certify the notary&#8217;s signature.
