Apostille Services in Tianjin
Tianjin does not have its own Apostille issuing authority. Documents notarized or certified in Tianjin are sent to the designated provincial Foreign Affairs Office that has jurisdiction, where the Apostille is attached.
Key Points
- The Apostille is issued by a provincial Foreign Affairs Office, not by Tianjin itself
- Notarization is completed at a local notary public office in Tianjin first
- Commercial documents go through the local CCPIT branch
- Processing takes 5 to 10 working days after notarization
- The document is returned to you with the Apostille attached
