Effectiveness and Certification

There are not regulations in China about how long a notarial certificate is effective. However, many other countries have such regulations. Please inquire embassies or consulates concerned. Here is the website of the foreign ministry's consular affairs section: http://cs.mfa.gov.cn/zcgj/lsrz/rzxx/

Consular certification means that one country's embassies, consulates or their authorized agencies prove the last signature or seal on documents issued by government organs of the country they are in is authentic. The purpose of consular certification is to enable the authority in one country to accept the validity of a document issued by another country, i.e., endowing it with extraterritorial effects. Whether a notarial certificate needs consular certification depends on the country where it is used.

If needed, please contact agencies designated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Of them, China Travel Service Co, Ltd. has set up a department at the first floor of our office to offer consular certification service (Tel: 85197690).
