The Philippine Embassy may authenticate and notarize public documents for use in the Philippines. Each document that will be used in the Philippines must be individually legalized and then individually authenticated by the Embassy. 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 (MFA) in Beijing.

Requirements:
1. Document(s) notarized by a Local Notary Public Office (with English translation); and
2. Document(s) authenticated by MFA.

Process: Generally, the MFA submits the MFA-authenticated documents to the Philippine Embassy in Beijing for its authentication so that the documents can be used in the Philippines. In such cases, the MFA is the sole agency authorized to receive and release the Embassy-authenticated documents to its rightful holders/owners. The Philippine Embassy does not allow distribution of such documents directly to its respective holders/owners.

Basic Fees: RMB 190.00 each set of document
