The difference between notarization and certification in China and the United States and the American notary office.

American notarization is different from notarization by Chinese notary agencies. It is usually certified by a person with notary qualifications on some non-controversial issues such as real estate, land deeds, power of attorney, etc. The main function of notarization is to supervise the execution of oaths, statements, signatures, testimonies, etc. Notaries are not lawyers and cannot provide legal advice.

Authentication:

Some documents need to be notarized by a notary and then submitted to the relevant Secretary of State, the U.S. Department of State or the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in the United States before they are valid.

Notarization and certification are an indispensable part of certain legal procedures. If not handled in time, it may lead to delays, document invalidation, etc., causing a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The United States implements the common law system, so the American notary system is different from China. Only by understanding the American notarization system can we better understand what American notarization is and how to apply for American notarization.
