Personal Certificate Attestation for China

In order to live and work in China, the country’s embassy needs to attest certain personal paperwork and certificates. This authenticates these documents so that they will be accepted by Chinese authorities.

However, this process tends to be drawn-out and confusing, as well as expensive if done incorrectly.

This is why our personal document attestation for China is so useful, authenticating birth certificates, university degrees and passports on your behalf. We also offer an international delivery service to our customers outside of the UK via DHL.

Now just sit tight! We'll be in touch if we need anything else from you.

We provide an all-in-one solution to attest your documents quickly and simply. The three stages, in order, are:

1. Your documents are stamped by a solicitor

2. We take the papers to be verified by the British Foreign Office (FCO)

3. Finally, your certificates get attested by the Chinese embassy in London

The following documents do not need to be authenticated by a solicitor, and will only need to be verified by our FCO & China embassy attestation service:

- Original UK Birth certificate

- Original UK Marriage certificate

- Original UK Death certificate

- Original ARCO UK police clearance certificate

- Original Original Medical reports signed by a British doctor registered with the FCO Legalisation Department

Do I need to send the original document or a copy?

Although a solicitor will usually only stamp a copy of the document, they still must see the original, so it must always be provided as well. The only original documents legalised by a solicitor are non-ACRO police certificates.

If your document is indeed exempt from solicitor stamping, your original will still be stamped by the FCO, as the agency does not accept copies in this instance.

Non-ACRO Police Certificates

Non-ACRO police certificates require attestation from a solicitor before being stamped by the FCO and the Chinese embassy. Please choose the ‘Solicitor + FCO + China Embassy Attestation’ option for these documents.
