#Notarized birth certificate china plus
He had to present all these, plus his documents. and these all had to be notarised and then authenticated by the Australian foreign affairs office for use in China. I then sent them to China for my dad to use at the notary office. I had to give photocopies of my passport (Australian, HK passport with date of entry into Australia, citizenship certificate, name change certificate) and all my mum's documents (passport, citizenship certificate etc). The hospital where I was born wrote him a certified letter stating that I was born there, which day, and to whom (luckily they still had the records). He went to the notary office in Beijing to get all this done. So it made it easy that my dad was in China, and was able to do everything from their end, but it took a long time! Sorry for the delayed post, we got married in June and it has been a busy year!ĭroudrou, good luck with it! We ended up succeeding, but oh my goodness I hope you have left enough time! Thanks guys! I will definitely keep you updated, as I am sure there are others who are in this situation. I found a document issued by the Chinese government which I received when I left China at age 2 for HK - this has my name, place and date of birth, so I am hoping for dear life that this will and Gato, thanks! We are actually doing a civil ceremony here in Australia, but in order to do the church thing in France, we require that the French government recognise the Australian certificate, which requires a birth certificate! Don't think I haven't tried to suggest we do a secular ceremony to my fiance, but his parents are insisting we either have a civil or church ceremony in France - our only choices! Plus, as stated ever so eloquently, we may move over one day, and the ever so inflexible French government will be demanding these papers anyway, might as well just rip off the bandaid we actually live in Australia, but thanks! My fiance is checking with the French embassy here in Melbourne if there is something else we can do in the event that I can't get a Chinese birth certificate, so it is just a waiting game (cause you know, they won't get back to us for 2 if a DNA test will suffice, I would be happy to head back and get one done! If it were that easy that would be fantastic! My mum threw away their marriage certificate when they divorced (see comment in point 2) and a divorce certificate doesn't sufficeĤ.
He doesn't have a hukou, not sure why, my parents are just terrible with administrative matters.ģ. My dad is in China, so he is going back and forth to the notary office.Ģ. Thanks for all the information, super helpful! It is pretty much as I expected, having trolled the forums for anyone else in the same situation. Although you should lose your Chinese citizenship automatically when naturalising as a citizen in another country, Chinese government does not know until you actually tell them. If you never gave up your Chinese citizenship they might still consider you as a Chinese national. Thirdly, there might be a chance you are still a Chinese citizen in the eyes of Chinese government. However in order to get your birth certificate, you might need some other proof of your identity, like ID card, but I am not quite sure they will accept your Australian documents, because - see below: But I wuld bet my shoes they will tell you to go to your hometown to obtain duplicate as Chinese registries are not centralized and/or connected. Secondly, ask any Chinese embassy about this issue, they might tell you what to do. First of all, you should ask your parents, I think they might have needed your birth certificate when immigrating to Australia and when you were getting your Australian citizenship.
