Apostille accepted.
China has accepted the apostille since November 2023. Before then, documents needed consular legalization.
Since November 2023, mainland China accepts the apostille in place of consular legalization. Chinese translation is usually required, and many offices ask for it to be done in China. We confirm before translating.
We do not give immigration or legal advice.
Documents clients send to China.
- Diplomas and FBI background checks for work permits
- Birth and marriage certificates for family visas
- Business documents for company registration
- Powers of attorney
Translation needs.
Chinese translation is usually required. We prepare certified translations for $45 per page, $35 per page from three pages, and confirm whether it is done before or after the apostille.

China questions.
Do I still need the Chinese consulate?
No. Since November 2023, an apostille replaces consular legalization for mainland China.
Which apostille does my FBI check need for a Chinese work permit?
A U.S. Department of State apostille, because the FBI report is a federal document.
