What is Hague Certification

Hague certification is APOSTILLE certification, its full name is the "Convention on the Cancellation of Foreign Document Certification Requirements" certification.

Hague certification refers to the certification documents issued by the government agencies of the Hague member states, usually the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Supreme Court of the country, and widely recognized by other countries. Note that it is not the content of the certified document, but the certification of the first issuer of the certification, proving the authenticity of the issuer and having the right to authenticate.

In layman's terms, documents that have passed the Hague certification can be used in the Hague member states and will not be regarded as invalid foreign documents. At present, China has not yet joined the Hague member states, but the Convention applies to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macao Special Administrative Region of China.

Under what circumstances do I need to use the Hague certification of the Philippines

Generally, documents that need to be used between China and the Philippines require Hague certification.

The most common is that the Philippine non-Filipino certificate for children born in the Philippines requires the Hague certification when returning to China to register. However, because China is not a member of The Hague, if we want to apply for a certificate of non-Filipino nationality that can be recognized by China, we also need to apply for the certification of the Chinese Embassy at the time of certification in The Hague.
