China

Steps to legalize documents 

Firstly, any document that is issued in the United States must be notarized by a notary public. This means that the notary public verifies the identity of the signer and ensures that they sign the document willingly and without duress. Once the document has been notarized, it must be authenticated by the Secretary of State in the state where it was issued.

After the document has been authenticated by the Secretary of State, it must be legalized by the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in the United States. This involves submitting the document along with an application form and paying a fee. The Chinese Embassy or Consulate will then authenticate the document and affix a red ribbon to it.

It is important to note that the process of legalizing documents for use in China can be time-consuming and complex. That is why our company, Apostille International, offers document legalization services to help streamline the process. Our team of experts can assist you in obtaining all the necessary certifications and authentications required by the Chinese Embassy or Consulate.
