Hello,

My Chinese fiancee is considering having her cousin who is fairly fluent in English (i've met him personally) translate her official Chinese documents (birth cert, police rec, unmarried cert) into English and signing a statement certifying the translation is true and correct etc., then go to the notary. Is this good enough for Guangzhou, or are there actually licensed/certified translators in China with some kind of special stamp that the consulate needs on the document along with notarization?

Thanks if anyone can clear this up for us. She would rather just pay for the notarization but avoid paying more money for a simple translation.

The notary will take care of the translation.

Yes, and that is what the Consulate will expect. Notarial translations from the Gong Zheng Chu.

if the cousin does this, no 'trip to notary' required.

GUZ IV understands the 'white book' notarial translations, very well. What's the issue for not going to a Notarial Translation office?

Here's a longish post about it (ignore the bickering, ya? ) http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/228853-notarial-birth-certificate/ (Click the link, have a read? )

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
