I Want to ApplyRelevant Government Regulations
1) The Chinese Overseas Chinese Affairs authority's "Interpretation (Trial) of 'Settling' in the Definition of Overseas Chinese" has relaxed the definition of "settling" ("overseas Chinese"): Settling refers to Chinese citizens who have obtained long-term or permanent residency rights in their country of residence; Chinese citizens who have not obtained long-term or permanent residency rights but have held a legal residency permit in their country of residence for five consecutive years and reside abroad are also considered as settled. Chinese students (including government-sponsored and self-funded) studying abroad and public servants (including labor personnel) working abroad are not considered settled.
2) According to the new regulations, residing abroad in a non-student capacity for five consecutive years or more qualifies one as an overseas Chinese.
Methods for Authenticating Overseas Chinese Identity
1) For Green Card holders: Directly notarize and authenticate the Green Card.
2) For non-Green Card holders: Submit a declaration or authenticate documents such as a U.S. driver's license.
3) Authenticate a U.S. passport.
What Documents Are Required for Passport or Green Card Authentication?
1) Consulate notarization and authentication application form.
2) A copy of the applicant's passport.
3) Relevant supporting documents.
Reminder: The original document authenticated by the Secretary of State. (Typically, an authentication page is attached and bound to the applicant's documents. The bound documents must not be separated, as doing so will invalidate them immediately. If we handle the Secretary of State authentication step for you, please disregard this note.)
