Chinese Official Documents for Use Abroad: Video Guide
Need to use Chinese official documents abroad? This short HI-COM video explains the key steps to check before submitting documents issued in China to a foreign authority, university, employer, immigration office or business partner.
Depending on the destination country and receiving institution, you may need certified translation, notarization, apostille or legalization. HI-COM Asia supports international clients with official document translation and preparation in China.
What Documents May Need Translation, Notarization or Apostille?
Chinese official documents often need extra preparation before they can be used abroad. This may include certified translation, notarization in China, apostille or consular legalization. Common documents include diplomas, academic records, no criminal record certificates, marriage certificates, divorce documents, business licenses and administrative certificates.
Key Points Covered in This Video
Before using Chinese official documents abroad, check three things:
- Whether the document must be translated by a certified translation provider.
- Whether the document must be notarized in China.
- Whether the destination country requires apostille or legalization.
Requirements can vary by country, institution and document type. That is why it is important to confirm the process before starting.
