Patent and trademark document certification Hague certification (Secretary of State certification)

From November 7, 2023, China officially joined the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, namely the Hague Convention.

This means that documents signed in the United States only need to be certified by the Hague when used in China, without the need for additional complicated procedures.

The processing time in Apostille is shorter and the price is more favorable.
