Notarization and Authentication

The Philippine Embassy may notarize and authenticate public documents for use in the Philippines. Certifications/authentication of Chinese documents such as birth certificate, marriage certificate, business registration license, health certificate, etc., require prior notarization by a notary public in China and authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing. Notarials are made on affidavits executed by Filipinos before a Consular officer in the Embassy. Passports and relevant documents may be required by the Consular Officer.
