Frequently asked questions
常见问题
Does China accept apostilles now?
中国现在接受海牙认证吗？
Yes. Since November 7, 2023, mainland China accepts the apostille in place of consular legalization. Many providers still quote the old process by mistake.
是的。自2023年11月7日起，中国大陆以海牙认证取代领事认证。许多服务商仍误引旧流程。
Do you need to speak Chinese to notarize my document?
公证我的文件需要会中文吗？
No. Notarization certifies the signature, not the language. What matters is the correct format, certified Chinese translation when needed, and the apostille. We coordinate all of it.
