If the Apostille Convention applies between the country where your document was issued and the country where it will be used, an apostille replaces consular authentication for eligible public documents. Confirm the receiving organization’s document and translation requirements before applying.
If the Apostille Convention does not apply, consular authentication may be required. For documents issued in mainland China, this generally involves authentication by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs or an authorized Foreign Affairs Office, followed by the destination country’s embassy or consulate in China. Requirements and exemptions vary.
An apostille or consular authentication verifies the relevant signatures and seals, not the accuracy of the document’s content. The receiving organization determines whether the document meets its requirements.
Fees and processing times depend on your document type, country of issue, destination and any notarization or translation required. Share these details with China Attest to receive a quote and an estimated processing timeline.
