How to notarize Chinese documents in the U.S.

如何在美国办理中文文件公证

Notarizing a document for use in China is straightforward once you know the steps. The confusion usually comes from outdated advice about consular legalization, which no longer applies.

一旦了解步骤，为在中国使用的文件办理公证其实很简单。混乱通常源于关于领事认证的过时建议，而该流程已不再适用。

Step 1: prepare the document

第一步：准备文件

The Chinese registry, university, or bank expects a specific format. We make sure the U.S. document matches before you sign.

中国的登记处、高校或银行期待特定格式。在您签署前，我们会确保美国文件符合要求。

Step 2: sign before the notary

第二步：在公证人面前签署

You sign and the notary certifies your identity and signature, in person or remotely online.

您签署，公证人证明您的身份和签名，可当面或在线远程办理。

Step 3: translation and apostille

第三步：翻译与海牙认证

Some Chinese authorities request a professional Chinese translation and an apostille. We can coordinate both, subject to the receiving authority's current instructions.

部分中国机关会要求专业中文翻译和海牙认证。我们可以按照接收机构的现行要求协调办理。
