如何在美国各州办理州务卿公证认证?Apostille 与 Certificate 全攻略

州务卿公证认证类型说明

(2020 年 1 月更新;2023 年内容修订)

在美国,各州州务卿(Secretary of State)负责出具文件的官方认证,其认证形式主要分为两种:
Apostille(海牙认证)Certificate of Authentication(认证证书)


📘 一、Apostille(海牙认证)

Apostille,又称“海牙认证”,依据《1961 年海牙公约》(The Hague Convention of 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents)签发。
此认证类型适用于 海牙公约成员国之间 的文件流通,能简化跨国认证流程,使文件在目标国被直接承认,无需额外的领事认证。

重要更新

  • 中国于 2023 年 3 月 8 日 正式提交加入《海牙公约》的文件;

  • 并自 2023 年 11 月 7 日 起正式生效,成为 第 125 个海牙公约成员国

  • 自此之后,送往中国大陆使用的美国文件(如出生证、结婚证、公司注册文件等),只需经 州务卿出具 Apostille,即可在中国境内使用,无需再经过中国驻美使领馆办理领事认证。

📙 二、Certificate of Authentication(认证证书)

Certificate of Authentication(也称“非海牙认证”)主要适用于 未加入海牙公约的国家或地区
例如:若文件将用于 尚未加入公约的国家,则仍需按传统路径办理,即:

公证 → 州务卿 Certificate of Authentication → 美国国务院认证 → 目标国驻美使馆/领事馆认证

目前,该类型认证仍适用于中国以外的非海牙成员国(如阿联酋、越南等)。


📎 温馨提示

  • 若文件用于 中国香港或澳门特别行政区,依旧只需办理 Apostille,即可直接使用,无需领事认证。

  • 办理前请务必确认文件使用国是否属于海牙公约成员,并了解对翻译、公证格式及有效期的具体要求。

  • 经认证后的文件请勿擅自拆封或重新装订,以免导致认证失效。
