- Notarize NCR
An NCR itself may not be enough. Sometimes, you also need to provide Notary Certificate of No Criminal Convictions (issued by the notary public office) and a notarized translation of the certificate. In Beijing, there are many notary offices and you could find one nearby.
The notarization takes around 7 working days.
Sample
And in some cases, the notary certificate needs to be further authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassy of the country where the certificate is to be submitted.
