How to apply for the Hague certification of Hong Kong immigrants?

The author's AsiaInfo authentication network is certified by The Hague.

With the increasing immigration fever in China, many countries have offered good immigration conditions, such as Cyprus, Portugal and Hungary, which have attracted the attention of people from all walks of life in China. For example, in Hungary, as long as you can buy a 500,000 euro property in Hungary or invest in a job for five Hungarian citizens, you can get a Hungarian passport.

When preparing immigration application materials, for most immigrant countries, it is necessary to submit documents notarized (notarized by domestic notary offices, notarized by foreign affairs offices and foreign consulates), but some documents, such as a child born in Hong Kong, whose passport and birth certificate are issued by the Hong Kong government and cannot be notarized in China, need to apply for Hague certification at this time.

Hongkong's notarization and authentication system is quite special, which is different from Chinese mainland's. The Hague Convention, which Chinese mainland does not recognize, is feasible in Hong Kong, and the Hague documents are also recognized in Hong Kong. Most documents obtained from abroad only need to be certified in The Hague. Hong Kong's early accession to The Hague can be authenticated by The Hague, and documents born in Hong Kong can only be authenticated by The Hague if they are used in areas that recognize The Hague Convention. The certification place is in Hong Kong.

So, how to apply for the Hague certification of Hong Kong immigrants?

Take immigration to Hungary as an example. For example, if children born in Hong Kong whose parents are mainland residents want to immigrate to Hungary now, they need the Hague to certify their Hong Kong birth certificates. The so-called Hague certification means that Hungary and China and Hongkong belong to the international Hague organization, so it is ok to apply for Hague certification.

The specific process of Hong Kong Hague certification:

1. notarized by Hong Kong International Notary Public;

2. Signed by the High Court of Hong Kong;

This period takes 7- 10 working days. Required materials: A scanned copy of the child's Hong Kong birth certificate is enough.

The Hague authentication documents processed in Hong Kong can also be used in any Hague region. It should be noted that although Chinese mainland is not the Hague region, Hongkong and Macau are the regions that signed the Hague Convention. Documents from any Hague country can be used in China, Hongkong and Macau, but not in Chinese mainland. If the Hague document is not recognized, a certificate from the embassy is required.
