Extract from the commercial register of China

China is one of the largest developing countries with a growing economy. Chinese companies operate all over the world and when starting or developing a relationship with a foreign partner, you need to know all the information about the counterparty. An extract from the commercial register of China will help you get complete data on the state of a particular company, economic situation and the composition of governing structures. China, in terms of GDP, ranks first in the world, due to the huge number of enterprises. In terms of exports, China is also the leader among all countries in the world. A huge volume of companies created in China is contained in the country's trade register. Due to the lack of duplication of text in the constituent documents in English, it is difficult to make out the content of the documents. An extract from the commercial register of China will help you find out general information about the company, about its activity and types of activities, the date of creation and the availability of information about the termination of activities. Information about the creditor, especially at the initial stage of the formation of legal relations, plays a huge role. The information will help you avoid purchasing goods from dummy companies.  

It is worth noting that China has not ratified the 1961 Hague Convention abolishing the requirement of legalization of foreign official documents, in connection with which documents received in China require consular legalization for most countries of the world, except for countries with which China has signed agreements on mutual assistance on civil and criminal cases.

Extract from the commercial register of China with consular legalization

Consular legalization is a more complicated procedure than apostille, since documents are submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and the Consulate of the required state. The complication of the legalization procedure is caused by China's failure to accept the provisions of the Hague Convention of 1961, the possibility of ratifying the Convention is possible at any time, but until this has happened, consular legalization is the only way to legitimize documents issued by the state and authorized bodies of China. Our company will help you to carry out consular legalization for work on the territory of any state.
