Document retrieval
With your authorisation, we request birth, marriage, education, criminal record and company registry documents from authorities in China and abroad, then translate and legalize them.
People often discover a missing document only when applying for a visa, residence, marriage or an inheritance, and the issuing office is in another city or another country. With your authorisation, we apply for it, collect it and send it on.
Typical requests include replacement birth or marriage records from abroad, foreign police certificates, company registry extracts and education verification reports. Once obtained, the document can go straight into translation, notarisation and legalization.
Documents we often handle
- Birth and marriage records
- Foreign police and criminal record certificates

Frequently asked questions
Can you retrieve any document?
Only documents the law allows an authorised agent to request. Some records can only be requested by you in person; we tell you upfront and help you prepare.
What authorisation do you need?
Usually a signed authorisation and a copy of your ID. Some offices require a notarised power of attorney.
