1. What Is a China No Criminal Record Certificate?
A No Criminal Record Certificate in China is an official document issued by a local Public Security Bureau (PSB) or Entry-Exit Administration. It confirms that you have no criminal record in China during a specified period of residence.
It is also commonly called:
- • China Police Clearance Certificate
- • Certificate of No Criminal Record
2. Why Apostille or Legalization Is Required
A Police Clearance Certificate issued in China cannot be directly used abroad. Most foreign authorities require the document to go through one of the following processes:
- • Notarization in China — Carried out by a licensed Chinese notary office to verify the authenticity of the certificate.
- • China Apostille — For countries that are members of the Hague Convention.
China Apostille
- • Consular Legalization in China — For countries that are not members of the Hague Convention.
