The Hague Apostille is designed to simplify the legalization process of documents between countries. It allows documents notarized in one country to be recognized in another country that has signed the Hague Convention, thereby reducing the complexity of cross-border document use.
China officially joined the Hague Convention on November 7, 2023. Documents signed by the United States only need to be certified by the Hague when used in China.
The processing time in Apostille is shorter and the price is more favorable.
