What to Know About China Documents
- Household registration is recorded in the Hukou (户口簿) booklet, which is frequently requested to prove identity and family relationships.
- Civil-status facts — birth, marriage, single status, no criminal record — are usually proved by a notarial certificate (公证书) issued by a state notary public office rather than by a standalone certificate.
- Chinese notarial certificates often already include an English translation bound inside them, but UKVI still expects a certified translation that matches the Chinese original and its seals.
- Chinese universities typically issue a separate graduation certificate and degree certificate — both may be needed for study and work routes.

FAQ
Questions about Chinese documents
The notarial certificate already has an English version inside — do I still need a certified translation?
Often yes. UKVI expects a certified translation produced by a translator, matching the Chinese original and its seals. The bound English pages are not always accepted on their own, so a certified translation removes any doubt.
Can you translate a Hukou household register?
Yes. The Hukou is one of the Chinese documents we translate most often, reproducing every household member entry, stamp and page.
Which language are Chinese documents translated from?
From Simplified or Traditional Chinese (Mandarin) into certified English.
