When submitting official documents abroad, CCPIT Certification alone is often insufficient. Many countries require additional authentication\u2014either through legalization<\/strong> or an Apostille<\/strong>\u2014to verify the document\u2019s legitimacy.<\/p>
China has officially joined the Hague Convention and become a member state. The Apostille Convention came into effect in China on November 7, 2023.<\/p>
If the country you use the Certificate of Origin (CO) is in the 1961 Hague Convention, you need to provide an Apostilled document.<\/p>
If the country you use the Certificate of Origin (CO) is not in the 1961 Hague Convention, you need to provide a Legalized document.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
