Do you need your diploma legalized for China?
Certifying and legalizing documents for China is a multi-step process that requires State, US Department of State, and China Embassy legalization. For the country of China, we are currently only processing through the Embassy. Also, please note that China has an expedited service fee which allows your documents to be completed in 1-2 business days.
At International Apostille Services, Inc., we take the guesswork out of legalizing your documents for the country of China. Our trained and knowledgeable staff are available Monday-Saturday from 8am to 7pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow step-by-step instructions. We provide expedited US legalization services ensuring that your documents will be completed quickly.
Below, we have outlined the steps that must be taken in order to complete your documents. The first two steps will need to be completed by you. Please note that we are unable to contact your school (College, University, etc…). We can only assist you with the documents that you mail in for processing.
Step 1: Contact your school’s registrar to have your diploma notarized. If the school does not have a notary on staff, you can request a traveling notary to visit the school.
Step 2: Mail your notarized diploma including our order form and credit card authorization form to our office for processing. Please note that we have nine offices through the United States. Please, call us before you mail in your documents in order to avoid any delays or additional costs.
These are the steps we will complete once we received your notarized diploma:

Step 4: We will overnight your State certified diploma to our Washington, D.C. office for processing.
Step 5: Your diploma will be certified through the US Department of State in Washington, D.C. – Office of Authentications in four – five business days.
Step 6: The final step is to legalize your document through the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C. The current processing time is 1-2 business days.
