The Chinese Consulate\/Embassy prefers to have a declaration statement from the passport holder and acknowledgement statement from the notary public. The statement should be on a separate piece of paper. The declaration from the passport holder should state the passport photocopy is a true and unaltered copy.

Do not complete, sign or date the document until you are in front of a notary public. You will bring the original passport, photocopy, statement and a valid ID (passport or driver&#8217;s license) to a local notary public.
