How can Philippine documents be used in China?

People in the Philippines sometimes handle some documents, but they do not recognize them in China. What should they do at this time?

It is very simple. It is enough to do both Philippine notarization and embassy authentication.

Philippine notarization is the basis for the certification of the Philippine embassy. Only after notarization can the subsequent certification procedures be handled. Philippine companies need to use Philippine company documents to set up foreign-funded companies in China (representative offices, wholly foreign-owned enterprises, Sino-foreign joint ventures, etc.), Philippine companies to file lawsuits in domestic courts, apply for trademark patents in the Trademark Office, and handle housing sales in the Housing Administration. However, the Philippine document is issued by the Philippines, and the domestic government department cannot determine its legal authenticity, so it should submit the subject qualification certificate notarized by the notary office of the country where it is located and certified by the embassy (consulate) in the country.

According to the requirements of relevant laws and regulations of domestic industry and commerce, courts and other departments, if overseas documents are returned to mainland China for use and are foreign enterprises, they must submit documents notarized by the notary office of the country where they are located and certified by the local embassy or consulate of our country (1 original); if they are enterprises in Hong Kong and Macao, they must submit documents certified by notaries entrusted by China (1 original), the special seals for transmission have been affixed to China Legal Services (Hong Kong) Limited and China Legal Services (Macau) Limited respectively.

The purpose of the Philippine notarization certification is to make the Philippine documents recognized by the Chinese government agencies when they are used in China.

Philippine Embassy Certification Procedure:

1. Submit the documents requiring certification to the international notary lawyer for notarization;

2. The Consular Department of the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs signs documents that meet the specifications;

3. Documents sent to the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines for certification.
