You have the possibility to either provide us with notarial booklets or we can also verify your documents digitally via China Higher Education Student Information and Career Center (CHESICC).

2. Notarial booklets as certified photocopies

In China, civil-law notary firms make copies of the original documents and attach a declaration from the firm (in Chinese and English) stating that the attached document is a true copy of the original and includes information on the general content of the original document. This notarial deed does not replace the original document and should be regarded as a certified copy.

Suppose you choose to provide us with notarial booklets of the documents mentioned as certified photocopies. In that case, you can send them via postal mail to our address which you can find on the following website.
