China is a non Hague Convention Participant Country; thus, you must obtain an authentication from the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC or Chinese Consulates, to make your certification recognizable over there. The Chinese consulates in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Houston only cover documents originating from particular jurisdictions, while the Chinese embassy in Washington D.C. will authenticate certifications originating from any part of the United States of America. 1. Chinese consulates may have different requirements but all of them require G1 form (Application Form for Authentication or Notarization). This form must be filled and signed by the individual or a person who works for the business requesting the authentication. This person does not have to be the same signer on the document, but must be working at the same company. The G1 form signer must also submit a copy of his picture ID. 2. You must present photocopies of any documents being submitted. 3. Unless you have an original certification/document issued and certified by a state/federal/local official such as; Birth Certificate and death decrees, all documents have to be notarized before a commissioned notary public in the state. Must show that the notary’s commission will not expire in less than 6 months. (This prevents the notary commission from expiring before the document arrives in China.) The notary must include a jurat statement, for example “signed and sworn before me'', ''notary `` on''date ``. 4. Send your document to the Rhode Island Secretary of State (except for federally-issued records.) 5. Send your document to the U.S. Department of State in Washington DC. 6.
