Registration Proof
The Certificate of Registration/Business Certificates for the company investor should be notarized by a local, state, or national registration office or authentication department, then authenticated and attested by the Lawyers and the Chinese Embassy. Similarly, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan companies should be notarized by the local registration office or authentication department only.
