Register A Representative Office In China
Update: Since 7 November 2023, China accepts apostilles under the Hague Apostille Convention. Most Australian documents for use in mainland China now need notarisation (where required) and a DFAT apostille only; the Chinese Consulate in Melbourne no longer legalises documents. See our China notarisation page. 自2023年11月7日起,文件经公证后由DFAT加签海牙认证即可在中国使用,无需领事认证。
Melbourne Public Notary services to register a business office in China
If you are an Australian business wanting to do business in China, you might want to establish a representative office in China so you will need to have your Australian business documents notarised. Our Melbourne Public Notary has helped many Australian companies with notarising documents for China. Please contact the relevant government departments in China for their specific notarisation requirements for the situation. For example, you may need to notarise multiple company documents and show you have sufficient capital and financial resources to do business in China. After your documents have been notarised, they also need to be apostilled by DFAT. Our Notary Public understands the urgency with the notarisation process and can expedite your matter by communicating with DFAT on your behalf. We can also assist with providing professional National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) translations from English to Chinese if required which will depend on your specific needs. Please contact our office if you need assistance with notarising your documents to set up a representative office.
