How Indian commercial documents are legalised for China
Although China joined the Apostille Convention in 2023, in our day-to-day processing Indian commercial and company documents for China are still legalised through the Chinese Embassy. We follow the route that Chinese authorities and partners actually accept, rather than what general apostille guides suggest.
The chain is notary (for company and legal documents), Indian Chamber of Commerce, MEA attestation and then legalisation by the Embassy of China in New Delhi. Powers of attorney, certificates of incorporation, board resolutions, agreements and trademark documents are the most common.
Chinese courts, registries and trademark agents often need documents in Chinese. We can arrange certified Chinese translation and legalise it together with the English original.
