Remarks:
* As a foreign company, all certificates issued by foreign administrations are not admitted by Chinese ones.  It can be valued only after legalized by local Chinese Embassy.
  Whole notarial acts include:
  a. The copies of company’s original certificates of incorporation need to be notarized by a notarial public in local country.
  b. The notarized documents need to be legalized by The Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
  c. The legalized documents need to be verified to the local Chinese Embassy.
 
** If the investor is from a foreign country which has no diplomatic relations with China, the legalization needs to be settled in a 3rd country which has both diplomatic relations with China and that country.  Other producers are the same as above.
*** HK companies enjoy a much easier producer.  A layer who is appointed by Chinese Ministry of Justice can provide the service of transmitting notarization.
**** If the investor is the natural person of a foreign country, the original passport which contained Chinese visa could be accepted directly in most districts.  Inhabits of HK hold Reentry Permit and Taiwanese hold own Taiwan Compatriot Travel Certificate will do.
