And before you even do that, you need to get a notarization from a lawyers office.
What has to be notarized? Only copies of originals or second signatures of a first signatory are witnessed, then notarized. Notarization is not authentication of documentation. Authentication is a State (e.g. government, country, province, state, etc.) responsibility. I don't understand the supposed need for notarization.
Do you mean authentication or apostillization? |

| No criminal record check means no teaching in China. Not legally anyway. And you can't teach on an illegal visa anyway. |
you must be in beijing. i hear it's awful cold up there, thus the need
for so many blankets.
so far, it seems ONLY beijeer and qingdao require the records check,
and not necessarily every employer. and the ones that demand it
may have different requirements........fbi check or local records search
or notarized personal statement...... |

@ BudPowell - Nope for China original docs also have to be notarised. We've had to do it for the CRB check, our marriage certificate and our son's birth certificate.
To add in edit: this was also for Zhejiang. |

What ever criminal record document your local police station gives you is what you use.
Another thing too. After you taught in China for 5 years, you can no longer teach there. |

| Docs from UK need notarising, authenticating at the FCO and then legalising at the Chinese Embassy, three different processes. The joy. |

See my Re-edit OP for links and details: Unlike the US, UK, EU, NZ, and Australia, in Canada, we don't necessarily need to 'notarize' and we don't fold, bend, staple, mutilate, or apostillize doc's, we just 'authenticate' them.  |
