With the increasing number of foreigners working or starting up in China, management of foreigners' work permits is becoming more and more strict. In April 1st, 2017, new work permit policy was issued and application of work visa is more complicated than ever before: all applicants need to provide certification of no criminal record and diploma.
In the complicated and time-consuming preparation process of visa materials, HR sometimes delays the time of applying for work visas or even loses opportunities to hire brilliant foreign employees because they are unfamiliar with no criminal record and the process of certification. So, what is the entire process of certification of no criminal record? How, Where and When?
What is certification of no criminal record?
Certification of no criminal record of foreign talents is one of the important application materials for Chinese enterprises to apply work permits for their foreign employees. It is required to be offered by relevant government departments in local country so as to prove the authenticity of certification of no criminal record.
Process of certification of no criminal record
The process of applying for certification of no criminal record can be divided into three parts: original, notarized and certified. Due to the different responsibilities of institutional departments established in each country, there will be some differences in the time of process and names of location. Foreigners or employers are supposed to understand the differences before doing it.
Original certification of no criminal record is usually issued by police or background clearance agency of foreign applicant's nationality or place of frequent residence, for example, Americans can apply for the FBI background clearance online.
Notarization and certification: no criminal record is notarized by local notary public or authorized department, then transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the host country for certification, and finally the notarized documents and the certifications given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be certified by Chinese Consulate.
Hot topic
1. Is it possible to apply for consular certification only by Chinese embassies and consulates abroad, but not by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or certification agency?
Firstly, Chinese embassies and consulates abroad can only confirm the seal and signature of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or certification agency.
2. How long is the validity of certification of no criminal record? How to calculate it?
Certification of no criminal record has a six-month validity period, which is calculated from the date of issue, not the date of certification.
For example, if the certification of no criminal record is issued on February 1st, and the completion of certification is March 1st, thus the document is valid until August 1st, not September 1st.
How long is the process of certification of no criminal record?
It usually takes 1-1.5 months or even longer from the preparation of original no criminal record to the certification of Chinese embassy, because some people have other things in the certification and will not finish without interruption. There may be an interruption in the process of certification.
For candidates who are not in their own country, it is a time-consuming thing. It is exhausted to take plenty of time and energy in the way. Whats more, it will cause financial loses, reduce efficiency greatly and enterprises and employees will not have effective communication because they are unfamiliar with the steps and specific locations.
