Chinese Household Register Translation

[yohosuff]

Hi there, this is my first post on the forum.

I was wondering whether or not a notarized English translation of the Chinese Household Register (or hu kou ben) is required to be submitted along with the photocopies of all the pages in the Chinese Household Register.

I was just looking over all of our documents to be sent and I noticed that we hadn't gotten a translation for this one.

Since the hu kou ben is not in English nor French, you must include an accurate translation with a copy of the originals. According to CIC, failure to do so will result in substantial delays.

I think you can go to any notary public office in your local area in China to have the translation.

Thanks for the help. I'll get on that right away.

Does it have to be translated by the Notary Office, or can I translate it myself?

Are you sure the translation must be notarized? I don't think we had ours notarized, and I certainly would have done so if the guide had requested this. I recall we had a friend (who does translations for a living provide the translation). Now you've got me worried.

Toby,

We had our notarised. Actually, we had a friend who works in the local district public notary office.

I could be wrong but I think translations need to be done by someone who is a translator. I dont know if they need to be notarized but I do believe they have to be translated by a qualified translator.
