U.S. Document Legalization & Hague Apostille Services

Since China officially joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2023, U.S. legal documents—such as court judgments, notarized powers of attorney, and corporate records—can now be submitted in China with a single Apostille certificate, without consular legalization. This simplifies cross-border document procedures significantly.

However, compliance is not only about formality. It’s about ensuring that documents are accepted by courts, regulators, notaries, and banks in practice.

As an attorney licensed in New York State, Washington State and China, with prior hands-on litigation experience in Chinese courts, we understand not only the U.S. legal system but also how Chinese institutions evaluate and process foreign legal documents. We’ve worked directly within China’s court, corporate registration, banking, and foreign exchange systems. That means we can help clients craft documentation that meets both technical and practical expectations—on both sides of the border.

We provide the following services, among others:

• Apostille certification for U.S. court judgments, POAs, affidavits, and corporate filings
• Legal review of documents for format, usability, and acceptability by Chinese courts or agencies
• Preparing documentation packages for litigation, marriage, inheritance, or asset movement
• Coordinating with U.S. notaries, clerks, and Secretaries of State to complete legalization
• Advising law firms, businesses, and individuals working across U.S.–China legal systems

We don’t just help move documents—we help ensure they will function where they’re going.
