The Chinese government announced that public documents within the scope of the Apostille Convention now only need to apply for an apostille before they are sent to China for further legal use.
Background:
BAL Analysis: China’s accession to the Apostille Convention is part of the government’s effort to improve ease of conducting business in the country. The notice confirms that “the completion of the apostille does not guarantee the acceptance of the public document by the relevant user in China.” As such, it is still recommended that foreign nationals check in advance with Chinese consular or embassy officials when going through the proper apostille procedure.
