Hurray! We have some great news! On the 8th March of this year China acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention of 5th October 1961 Abolishing the Legalization of Foreign Public Documents. This will come into effect very soon on 7th November. What does this mean for foreigners seeking work in China and why should this put a smile on our faces?  WHAT IS THE APOSTILLE CONVENTION?  The convention is an international treaty that has been ratified by over 120 countries and territories globally, allowing streamlining of the authentication process of public documents for use abroad. Under the convention, all member states have agreed that a public document issued by one country can be certified for legal use in other member countries by obtaining an “apostille” certificate which has to be granted by an authorising body from the issuing country.  WHAT IS AN APOSTILLE  An Apostille is a certificate that authenticates the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document acted, and when appropriate, the seal or stamp of the document.  WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?  It means no more consular legalization is necessary.  Before the document authentication process included • Notarisation by a notary public if necessary • Legalisation by the Authorising Body • Consular legalisation from your local Chinese embassy/consulate  Now the document authentication process includes:  • Notarisation by a notary public if necessary • Obtain Apostille from the Authorising Body  WHY SHOULD THIS PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE?  No consular legalization means saving some time, money, and hassle. Now the process to authenticate you documents and therefore apply for your visa to China has become a little easier and quicker. We knew that would put a smile on your face :) Note: *This will not apply to Canada yet until they join the Hague Apostille Convention on 11th January 2024.
