"How to handle a declaration of the same person?

Before starting, the specific documents required by the receiving unit, originals or certified copies, Chinese translations, number of copies and deadlines should be confirmed. You can’t necessarily tell that you need Apostille based on the article title alone.

File source and certification path

The statement should state specific facts and purpose, and do not use a generic template that is irrelevant to the actual situation.

Confirm the format, attachments and notarization requirements of the recipient before signing. Do not replace the page without authorization after the notarization is completed.

Checkpoints for reorganizing according to the original theme

• First confirm with the Chinese receiving unit the translation language, stamping method and whether it needs to be bound with the certification page.
• The translation should completely cover the name, number, seal, signature and Apostille, not just the main text.
• The template can only help organize the fields, and the final text should be confirmed by the Chinese receiving unit or qualified professionals.
• Complete text confirmation before signing; modifying a notarized page usually means re-notarization and certification is required.
• Create a list of receipt requirements around "How to apply for a declaration of the same person? Name differences, notarization and Apostille", recording at least the file name, version, number of copies, translation and deadline.

Common Reasons for Rework

State documents are usually processed by the issuing state. The applicant's state of residence, agency location and China usage location will not change the source of the document.

After the application is completed, the original document, pre-certification, Apostille and translation should be compared page by page. If names, dates, numbers, or attachments are inconsistent, submission should be suspended and the discrepancies clarified first.
