Hi everyone,

What is "seal of the household registration in red ink"? It was specified as one of the requirements for the birth certificate for Taiwan (https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/fees/reciprocity-by-country/TW.html). I haven't been able to find anything on it and I suspect its because most discussion of it would be in Chinese.

I managed to obtain a household registration extract but it appears to be missing this seal and according to my mother the government department doesn't provide that on the English one. Will the US consulate in Sydney reject it?

Really appreciate any advise because when I question the US consulate in Sydney they just give me the response to refer to that link above. I have even tried asking AIT but they just referred me back to the US consulate in Sydney.

So I am feeling trapped and not sure where to get further clarification.

Our K1 visa got approved yesterday!

If anyone is interested the household registration extract (hukou) that I provided was accepted. I still have no idea what the seal of the household registration in red ink is but I suspect it might just be the stamp that shows that the document is from the department of household registration that was on mine but in blue ink.

Hope that helps someone else in the future!
