Question 1

What is China attestation UK?

Accepted Answer

China Attestation UK is the process of legalising documents issued in the UK so they are officially recognised in China. This involves document verification, notarisation by a UK notary, legalisation by relevant UK authorities, and final attestation at the Chinese embassy. The process ensures your personal, educational, or commercial documents are legally valid and can be used for study, business, or personal matters in China.

Question 2

Which documents require attestation for China?

Accepted Answer

Common documents include educational certificates (degrees, diplomas, transcripts), personal documents (birth, marriage, or divorce certificates), commercial agreements, power of attorney, and other legal documents. Essentially, any document that will be used in China for official, legal, or business purposes must be attested. Leadforce can guide you through the requirements specific to your document type.

Question 3

How long does the attestation process take?

Accepted Answer

The standard China attestation process usually takes 7–14 working days from document submission to delivery. Express or priority options are available for urgent cases, which can reduce processing time significantly. The duration depends on the type of document, the volume of submissions at the embassy, and whether notarisation or apostille services are required. Leadforce keeps you updated throughout to ensure transparency.

Question 4

Do you provide an apostille for China documents?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Comprehensive and Ultimate packages include apostille services where required. Apostille certification is necessary for certain educational, commercial, and legal documents to confirm their authenticity. Combined with solicitor certification and embassy attestation, this ensures your documents meet both UK and Chinese regulatory requirements and are officially recognised in China without delays or rejections.

Question 5

Can students attest their degree certificates for China?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Students planning to study, work, or apply for visas in China often need degree attestation. Leadforce provides complete support for degree verification, notarisation, apostille, and Chinese embassy approval. We guide students through each step, ensuring compliance with both UK and Chinese rules, reducing delays, and providing clear updates until the attested certificates are safely returned.

Question 6

Can commercial documents be attested for China?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Businesses in the UK that need to submit contracts, company registration papers, or trade certificates in China require attestation. Leadforce ensures proper notarisation, UK legalisation, and embassy approval for commercial documents, helping businesses meet compliance requirements for international trade, corporate registration, or partnership agreements in China.

Question 7

Are personal documents like birth or marriage certificates attested?

Accepted Answer

Yes, personal documents such as birth, marriage, divorce, or death certificates can be attested for use in China. This is often required for visa applications, family registration, or official legal matters. Leadforce handles the full process from UK notarisation to embassy approval, ensuring your documents are officially recognised in China without errors.

Question 8

Do you offer express attestation services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Standard, Comprehensive, and Ultimate packages offer express processing options. Express service accelerates the notarisation, legalisation, and embassy submission stages, reducing the overall timeline for clients with urgent requirements. Leadforce provides guidance on eligibility for express processing and ensures safe and timely delivery of attested documents.

Question 9

What is the role of a solicitor certification in attestation?

Accepted Answer

Solicitor certification is an optional step that verifies the authenticity of your documents through a licensed UK solicitor. This adds credibility and can be required by certain Chinese authorities or institutions, especially for educational or business documents. Leadforce includes solicitor certification in our Comprehensive and Ultimate packages for added compliance assurance.

Question 10

Is tracking available for attested documents?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All documents handled by Leadforce are tracked during courier delivery. Clients receive real-time updates on the status of their documents, ensuring transparency and peace of mind. This service is included in Standard, Comprehensive, and Ultimate packages to ensure your documents are secure until they reach you safely.

Question 11

Can I submit multiple documents at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Leadforce can handle multiple documents in a single attestation request. Whether it's a combination of personal, educational, or commercial documents, our team organises the process efficiently to minimise processing time. Each document is tracked individually to maintain accuracy and compliance with Chinese embassy requirements.

Question 12

Are there any documents that cannot be attested?

Accepted Answer

Documents that are incomplete, unsigned, or not officially issued may not be eligible for attestation. Leadforce reviews each document before submission and provides guidance on making any necessary corrections or obtaining missing elements to ensure successful attestation. We aim to reduce rejection risks at the embassy stage.

Question 13

How do I know which package I need?

Accepted Answer

The package depends on your document type, urgency, and additional services required (like apostille or solicitor certification). Basic covers standard personal or educational documents. Standard adds express handling, Comprehensive includes apostille/solicitor certification, and Ultimate offers priority service with full support. Leadforce advisors can recommend the most suitable package for your needs.

Question 14

Do I need to appear in person at the embassy?

Accepted Answer

No. Leadforce handles the embassy submission on your behalf. Our UK-based team liaises directly with the Chinese embassy, ensuring compliance with their requirements. Clients only need to provide the original documents for verification and collection, making the process convenient and hassle-free.

Question 15

Are your services legal and compliant in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Leadforce is fully compliant with UK legal requirements for notarisation, legalisation, and document handling. All services adhere to Chinese embassy protocols as well. We are registered and insured, ensuring your documents are handled legally, securely, and professionally.

Question 16

Accepted Answer

Yes, Leadforce can attest documents on behalf of family members. You must provide the required original documents and authorisation if necessary. We manage the full process, ensuring that personal documents are valid and recognised in China.

Accepted Answer

Question 19

Can I get a quote before submitting documents?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Leadforce offers free quotes based on document type, quantity, and required services. Clients can select a suitable package and know the total cost before starting the attestation process.

Question 20

Do you handle educational transcripts separately?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Educational transcripts often require additional verification before embassy attestation. Leadforce reviews and verifies transcripts in the UK, ensures notarisation and legalisation, and submits them to the Chinese embassy according to required protocols.

Question 21

Are commercial contracts treated differently?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Commercial contracts may require additional legal checks and possibly solicitor certification before embassy submission. Leadforce ensures all contracts are compliant with UK and Chinese rules for smooth attestation.

Question 22

Can I use attested documents for visa applications?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Attested documents are officially recognised in China and can be used for student visas, work visas, business registration, and other official purposes. Leadforce ensures full compliance for visa requirements.

Question 23

How are documents returned after attestation?

Accepted Answer

Documents are returned securely via tracked courier to your UK address. For multiple documents, each is packaged safely to prevent damage. Leadforce provides tracking details to ensure transparency and peace of mind.
