Medboo certificate legalisation

Dear Mr Pan,

I have a concern about the certificate and other documentation issued by Medboo upon graduation from your courses. For the certificate to be valid in my country it should have an [b:16bf20bea3]apostille[/b:16bf20bea3] stamp [b:16bf20bea3]or[/b:16bf20bea3] be [b:16bf20bea3]legalised[/b:16bf20bea3] by the consulate of our country in P.R. China.

[i:16bf20bea3]This is probably not an issue for the U.S. and Canada, for their authorities would normally ask for the transcripts to be sent to them directly by the issuing institution[/i:16bf20bea3]. However, this procedure is necessary for almost any other country in the world for the documents to be valid there.

Unfortunately, P.R. China (with the exception of Hong Kong and Macau) is not a member of the Hague Convention of 1961 (about the apostille stamp), so the only way for the certificate to be valid abroad is to be [b:16bf20bea3]legalised through the consulate[/b:16bf20bea3] of the country of its intended use.

From what I understand, the procedure in this case should be the following:

[u:16bf20bea3]Step 1[/u:16bf20bea3]. Certification of the Medboo certificate [b:16bf20bea3]or a photocopy of it[/b:16bf20bea3] by a notary office in China authorized to provide foreign-related services.

[u:16bf20bea3]Step 2[/u:16bf20bea3]. Authentication of the certificate [b:16bf20bea3]or its notarised photocopy[/b:16bf20bea3] by the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Suite 708, Prime Tower, No. 22, Chaoyangmen Wai Street, Beijing).

[u:16bf20bea3]Step 3[/u:16bf20bea3]. Legalisation of the certificate [b:16bf20bea3]or its photocopy[/b:16bf20bea3] in the consulate of the country of intended use in P.R. China.

Obviously, I cannot do these steps myself, as they all have to be done in Beijing. Therefore, I would really appreciate it if you could [b:16bf20bea3]inform me[/b:16bf20bea3] whether Medboo [b:16bf20bea3]can take care of this procedure[/b:16bf20bea3] (steps 1, 2, and 3) for my certificate before sending it to me upon my graduation, and how much would be your charge for these services.

The authentication fee of the Consular Department in China for civil certificates was 50 yuan in 2004 (I don’t know the actual fee), the legalisation fee of our consulate for educational documents is currently US $10 per document.

If you prefer, you can send me the information about [u:16bf20bea3]your fee[/u:16bf20bea3] for the services [u:16bf20bea3]not including the fees of the third parties[/u:16bf20bea3] (notary, Consular Department, consulate), and inform me about the [u:16bf20bea3]total amount[/u:16bf20bea3] to pay [u:16bf20bea3]when you know it[/u:16bf20bea3], possibly after the process is completed.

[b:16bf20bea3]Please reply me by e-mail or personal message if you feel this question is too particular and is not worth discussing in this forum.[/b:16bf20bea3]

Thank you.

Dear Sergiy, Nice to see your message.

About your requirement, we will make our best effort to offer the service mentioned if we can do. However, at first we will find out the whole procedure necessary, including how long that will be taken and how much that will be charged. And then I will inform you the detail information by e-amil ASAP. Please wait it patiently.

Best regards

Medboop

Dear Sergiy, good morning,

I sent you a pm about the Medboo certificate legalisation. Please read it
ASAP.

Best regards

Medboop

This is to inform current and prospective Medboo students who might be interested in the legalisation of their educational documents that, as I have just been informed, Medboo can indeed arrange legalisation of the Certificate and Report Card issued by them according to the procedure explained above, and that the fee they would charge for those services is very reasonable.

As I have been informed, the total fee might vary slightly, depending on the country where you are planning to use the documents and on whether you need them to be translated into a language(s) other than English.

I think this information is important, as in many countries for the foreign documents to be valid they have to have an apostille stamp or, as in the case of the People's Republic of China, to be legalised by the corresponding consulate.

Please contact Medboo for further details.
