If the document your client submitted is translated into Chinese, the document would need to be notarized in most cases. We can provide the notarization for you for an additional fee. The total translation and notarization will take seven working days from the day received.
Documents issued in the USA to be used in China, such as the Affidavit of Support, Affidavit of Marital Status, Certificate of Employment, Health Certificate, Power of Attorney, Statement, Personal Identification Certificate, Trade Mark Registration, etc. should be authenticated by the Chinese Embassy or a Chinese Consulate in the United States before they are sent to China.
Procedures are as follows:
Documents should first be notarized by a local Notary Public.
Documents are required to be verified by the County Clerk before the authentication by the Secretaries of States.
The notarized document should be authenticated separately by the Secretary of State where the Notary Public registers himself.
The Chinese Consulate General authenticates the signature of the Secretary of State and the seal of the relevant State.
