All the applicants should submit their application documents in person, either by themselves or by their agents according to the authentication requirements stated on the CVASC's official website (www.visaforchina.org). The service of the CVASC includes receiving applications, fees collection, document release and inquiries. Application assessment and issuance of the authentication certificates remain to be decided by the consular officials.The CVASC will charge a service fee for each document to ensure its proper operation and high-quality service.
Consular authentication (legalization) applications of Chinese citizens may still be submitted to the Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China in Istanbul. Please check the Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China in Istanbul’s website for more details.
