Using Japanese Documents in China
Japanese documents for use in China require an Apostille issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. Japan and China are both Apostille Contracting Parties, so an apostilled Japanese document is accepted directly in China.
Key Points
- Apostille is issued by MOFA Japan
- Japan and China are both Contracting Parties
- A Chinese translation is usually required
- Japanese notarial deeds are issued by 公証役場
- Common uses: work permit, study, marriage

Hague Apostille Convention.
