Notarising UK degree certificate for use in China
A British citizen, living in China but educated in the UK, needed to get his degree certificate from the University of Central Lancashire notarised for use in China. The rules have recently changed meaning that all English nationals teaching English as a Foreign Language in China must have their degree certificates notarised and legalised by the FCO by way of an Apostille and must also be legalised by the Chinese Consulate. I emailed him a data consent form for his signature and then had his qualification verified by the University. The documentation sent to the agents included the notarised degree certificate, a copy of the client’s passport and an application form for the Chinese Consulate allowing the agents to apply to the Consulate on his behalf. The University were very quick in responding; the client emailed me on a Sunday afternoon and by Wednesday afternoon the documents were on their way to the agent and payment had been made. 10 days after the first email enquiry the completed documents were received by the client in China.
