1.What is authentication?

Authentication, also called consular authentication, refers to a consular practice ensuring authenticity of the very last signature or the seal affixed to a document related to the application from a natural person, legal person or other organization. In accordance with international practice and the consular practice established in China, the purpose of consular authentication is to ensure that notarial deeds issued in one country have due legal effect and can be acknowledged by the relevant authorities in another country with no question as to their authenticity.

 
Chinese Embassies and Consulate-Generals are responsible for legalizing notarized deeds to be used in China and other documents that have been duly authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country or the related authorities where the consular authentication application is to be accepted.

On March 8, 2023, China submitted its instrument of accession to the Hague Convention to cancel the authentication of official documents, and it will be officially implemented from early November 2023. For the transfer of documents with Kazakhstan, which is also a member state of the Hague Convention, there is no need to apply for consular authentication from the Chinese embassy or consulate in Kazakhstan. You only need to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan or the representative office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in your region (referred to as the “Foreign Agency”) to apply for the authentication of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan-referred to as the “Hague certification”.
