Need to use your Chinese documents abroad in a non-Hague country? We provide full consular legalization (double authentication) service in China — notarization, MOFA authentication, and embassy legalization. 100% online.
🌍 What Is Consular Legalization (Double Authentication)?
If you’re a foreign national living in China, and need to use Chinese documents abroad — for work, immigration, marriage, or education — you may be required to go through consular legalization, also known as double authentication.
This process applies when the country where your document will be used is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. It ensures your Chinese documents are legally recognized overseas.
🧾 What Types of Documents Need Legalization?
We handle legalization for many common documents issued in China, including:
- • 🎓 Graduation Certificate / Degree Certificate / Transcript
For foreign students who studied in China and are applying for further studies or jobs abroad - • 🛂 Police Certificate (No Criminal Record)
For those applying for immigration, work permits, or residence in another country - • 💍 Marriage Certificate
To update marital status in a foreign country or sponsor a spouse visa - • 📝 Power of Attorney (POA)
To authorize someone to act on your behalf abroad
⚠️ Note: Hague Apostille is used for Hague Convention countries. For all others, consular legalization is required.
🪪 Required Documents (Simple & Easy)
All you need to provide is:
- • ✅ Clear scan or photo of your document
- • ✅ Passport copy (photo page + China visa or residence permit)
🧾 No need to mail original documents
📝 No CHSI report, no authorization letter required
📤 Everything can be submitted online
🔁 Legalization Process in 3 Steps
Step 1: Notarization
- • Issued by a Chinese notary office
- • Certifies the authenticity and legal effect of your document
- • Required before any further authentication
Step 2: Authentication by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)
- • MOFA or local Foreign Affairs Offices will authenticate the notarial certificate
- • Confirms the notary’s seal and signature
- • Usually takes 3–5 working days
Step 3: Legalization by Foreign Embassy or Consulate in China
- • Final legalization step by the embassy/consulate of the country where the document will be used
- • Processing time varies (usually 5–20 working days depending on country)
- • Some embassies accept submissions only via MOFA; others require direct application
