notary

[cherrylu]

Hi, all

I have a question here. I lived with my husband for about a year in Guangzhou, China before, but I lost the contract. However, I do have a temporary residence permit that shows I lived there, it is in Chinese though. Just contacted the notary office, they said they can't do the notary of any temporary certificates. Any advice?

I have some mails,reciepts and the form when I opened an account in the bank. I am wondering how can I get all these documents translated in English? Because they are all in Chinese. :-[

Realllllly need some help here. Thank you.

Translation of documents

Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by:

the English or French translation; and
an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and
a certified copy of the original document.
Note: An affidavit is a document on which the translator has sworn, in the presence of a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the translator is living, that the contents of their translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original document. Translators who are certified members in good standing of one of the provincial or territorial organizations of translators and interpreters of Canada do not need to supply an affidavit.

Important information. Translations by family members are not acceptable.

Certified true copies

To have a photocopy of a document certified, an authorized person must compare the original document to the photocopy and must print the following on the photocopy:

“I certify that this is a true copy of the original document”,
the name of the original document,
the date of the certification,
his or her name,
his or her official position or title, and
his or her signature.
Who can certify copies?

Persons authorized to certify copies include the following:

In Canada:

a commissioner of oaths
a notary public
a justice of the peace


Outside Canada:

a judge
a magistrate
a notary public
an officer of a court of justice
a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the person is living
Family members may not certify copies of your documents.

Hey, thanks a lot for your reply.

I know for the police certificate or marriage certificate, I have to go to the notary office which is not a problem.

The thing is that I also have some other documents such forms that I filled in when I opened my cards or a mail receipt, which the notary office wont do the notary. Can I just bring them to an official tranlation office?

Thank you.
