About:Chinese Consulate in Vancouver

I need to have some documents authenticated (legalized).

Other than the documents, is there other information I should have with me? What is the cost to have the documents legalized? Will I be able to wait while the documents are being reviewed and authenticated?

Thank you.

Hi, you should know that the document should have been firstly notarized by a local notary public, lawyer or Commissioner of Oaths of Canada, and then authenticated by the authentication office of the Canadian Foreign Affairs Department or the relevant province (territory) then by Chinese embassy/consulate. Following are required:

1. One fully completed Application Form for Notarization and Authentication.
2. The original of your passport and a photocopy of the photo/information page of the passport.
3. The original and a photocopy of the permanent resident card, study permit or work permit, if you have.
4. If you entrusted someone else to submit the application, the original and a photocopy of both the entrusted person's and your passport will be required.
5. If the document is a business license, a photocopy of the passport of the company's legal representative and the original company document that can prove the person's legal representative status should be submitted.
The processing takes 4 working days. The fee is $30 per Civil document, and $60 per commercial document.
