Notice on Suspension of Consular Legalisation Service
1. On 8 March 2023, China acceded to the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents. Since Denmark is already a Contracting State, the Convention will enter into force between China and Denmark from 7 November 2023. The Convention will continue to be applicable to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macao Special Administrative Region of China.
2. Starting from 7 November 2023, public documents to which the Convention applies and issued in Denmark can be used in China’s mainland with a Danish Apostille. Consular legalisations by Denmark and Chinese Embassy in Denmark are not required. For procedures and requirements for Apostilles application, please contact the relevant Danish authority.
Starting from 7 November 2023, public documents to which the Convention applies and issued in China can be used in Denmark with a Chinese Apostille. Consular legalisations by China and Danish Embassy or Consulates in China are not required. Procedures and requirements for Apostilles application can be found at http://cs.mfa.gov.cn/. Apostilles can be verified online at https://consular.mfa.gov.cn/VERIFY/.
3. Starting from 7 November 2023, consular legalisation service by the Chinese Embassy in Denmark will be suspended.
4. The Convention stipulates that Apostilles issued by a State are used to certify the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted and, where appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which the document bears. You are kindly advised to confirm the specific requirements for foreign public documents in terms of format, content, validity period, translation, etc. before starting the relevant procedures.
