🇨🇳 Global Apostille · Source: China

Chinese Document Notarisation and Legalisation — For India, USA, UK, and Global Use.

Chinese documents notarised at 公证处 and authenticated by MOFA — not apostille. Indian ROC FDI. Full legalisation chain managed.

China is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Chinese documents require Notarisation + Consular Legalisation, not apostille. We manage the full chain.

How Apostille Works in China

China is not a Hague Apostille Convention member. Chinese documents cannot be apostilled. The process is: Chinese Notary Public Office (公证处) notarisation → Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (外交部, MOFA) authentication → receiving country's embassy in China attestation. This is consular legalisation, not apostille.

Chinese company documents (business licence, articles of association) for Indian ROC FDI filings, Chinese educational certificates for use in the UK or Germany, and Chinese court documents for Singapore arbitration are core mandates.

GetNotary manages the complete 公证处 → MOFA → embassy chain and delivers internationally — with certified translation where required.

Destination Countries That Accept This Legalisation

After legalisation in the issuing country, documents may require additional embassy steps for non-Hague destinations such as the UAE or India.
