3. Proof of no criminal records issued by The Exit-Entry Administration General Corps of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau as well as the applicant's visa that is (was) valid during his or her stay in Beijing.
4. N+1 color ID photos (3.5*5.3 cm) (N is the number of notarial certificates the applicant needs) if the notarial certificate is to be used in Colombia.
5. Other information that the notary demands when the applicant fails to provide adequate and complete materials.
Note: The requirements apply only to foreign people living in Beijing.
