Ordinary notarial certificate can not apply for consular authentication, and can not be sent to foreign countries for use, either.

二、涉外公证书的时效性

II.Timeliness of foreign-related notarial certificate

部分种类的涉外公证书所涉及事实的真实性或权利与义务的关系具有可变性，如婚姻状况、未受刑事处分、授权委托等，因此，在申办国内领事认证前，请您先核对涉外公证书所涉及的内容是否属实有效。如公证书已失效，需重新办理公证后再申办领事认证。

Therefore, before applying for domestic consular authentication, please first check whether the content involved in foreign-related notarial certificate is true and effective.
