Professional License and Regulation Copies Authentication
All professional certificates and copies of regulations MUST be issued by relevant agencies in the six states under our jurisdiction. A public notary in that state must notarize all documents and then send them to the Secretary of that state for "APOSTILLE" before the submission for authentication.
For all other instructions regarding authentication (such as processing time, Fees and Payment Methods, Return Envelope, etc.) please refer to the "General Instructions for Document Authentication."
Please submit the following materials when applying:
For either walk-in applicants or applications via mailing:
- Application Form for Authentication: Each applicant must complete and sign the form. Applicants can submit multiple documents under one application.
- A clear copy of the passport: The name on the passport must match the name on the document.
- Professional certificates and copies of regulations: A public notary in that state must notarize all documents and then send them to the Secretary of that state for "APOSTILLE."
Notes:
- If the application requires authentication of a Chinese translation of the document and is within our jurisdiction, please refer to the " Regulations for Chinese Translations" section on our official website. For the authentication of the Chinese translation, a copy of the Taiwanese ID must be provided to verify the applicant's Chinese name on the translation.
- Additional identification might be requested while the documents are reviewing.
