Proof of Residency in Foreign Countries (U.S.) for ROC Nationals Authentication
There are many types of certificate forms used for proof of residence in the United States, with different uses and review agencies. Please confirm with the relevant authorities that the form and content meet their requirements before applying for authentication. If there are attachments, ensure that clear copies are prepared and the complete documents are submitted in the correct order of pages before signing in front of our officer or handing to the public notary.
We only provide the more commonly used forms, such as "Proof of Residency in Foreign Countries for ROC Nationals" (for business relating to the Bureau of Labor Insurance, Ministry of Labor) or the form for Veterans Affairs Council use. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide all types of forms on-site or provide mailing services for them.
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."
