Chinese documents often need to be legalized before they are accepted overseas – for school enrollment, employment, marriage, immigration, lawsuits or company registration. Since November 2023, China is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, which significantly simplifies this process.
Documents We Can Apostille
- Civil documents: birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, household registration (hukou), no-criminal-record certificates.
- Education documents: diplomas, transcripts, degree certificates, school certificates.
- Commercial documents: business licenses, company registration certificates, certificates of incorporation, powers of attorney.
- Court and administrative documents as accepted by the competent authority.
The Process After the Apostille
Depending on your destination country, an additional consular legalization at the relevant embassy may be required. We check your exact destination requirements and handle both steps – so you receive documents that are truly accepted, not just stamped.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Q: What is the difference between apostille and consular legalization?
A: An apostille is a simplified single-step certification valid in the 125+ countries that are members of the Hague Convention. Consular legalization is required when the destination country is not a member – it involves certification by the Chinese authorities plus the destination embassy. We determine which applies to your case.
