China – info on providing certified docs with translations

In China, Notary Public Offices (公证处, Gōngzhèng chù) are the official organizations responsible for notarizing and translating documents, including a Chinese citizen’s ID card (身份证) and residential address (户口簿 or 居住证).

If you need a notarized and translated copy of these documents, you should visit a local Notary Public Office in the city where the person resides. These offices operate under the Ministry of Justice of China (中华人民共和国司法部).

Steps to Obtain Notarization and Translation:

1. Find a Notary Office (公证处) in the relevant city.
2. Provide the Original Documents (ID card and household registration or residence permit).
3. Request a Notarized Translation in English or another language.
4. Pay the Required Fees (varies by location).
5. Collect the Notarized Documents after processing (typically a few days).
