Diploma and FBI Background Check Authentication for China

Are you planning to teach or continue your education in China?

From our experience, the Chinese Government will request for you to certify and legalize your FBI background check and your University diploma (highest degree).  In order to certify and legalize these two documents, you must mail them to our offices for processing.  We will discuss each document below and provide you step by step instructions.

The first step in obtaining your FBI background check is to contact an approved FBI Channeler.  By working with an FBI Channeler, you can shorten the amount of time it takes in order to receive your background check.  Another benefit of working with a FBI Channeler is that you can obtain a digital copy in addition to a hard-copy that will be mailed to your location.  A digital copy can help speed up the process of certifying and legalizing your documents for China.  You can email us the digital FBI background check for processing through the US Department of State and the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC.

In order to process your diploma, it must be signed and notarized by the University’s Registrar.  Every University has procedures in place on how to notarize a diploma.  Some University’s will request for you to mail in the original while another will ask for you to order a new one.  In order to find our the procedures and step you must take, you will need to contact the University.  Once you receive your signed and notarized University Diploma, the next step is to mail it to our office for processing.

Depending on the US State your diploma originates from (Example: UCLA – California), we may be able to process these two documents together.  But, in certain situations, we may have to process them separately.  We recommend that you contact our office so we can email you the instructions and order forms.  Our toll free number is 1-888-810-4054 ext.1

Certifying and legalizing documents for China can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the legalization process and the unique requirements of the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!
