Today I went to the Gong Zheng Shu to get the Notarial Certificate for Marriage because we got a RFE asking for this document. The guy in Gong Zheng Shu show me the document they provide and it is just a paper with my name, date I got married, place and certify I am married but we need also her name in the document. He said it is the standard form they have and I just leave. I am reading it has to be a kind of white book. Someone has a photo how it looks and know when can I get this in Beijing (Chaoyang). I just want to show this to the notary guy. We both are foreigners living in China.

If you have a Chinese red book, you will need to submit that to the Gong Zheng Shu.

 

If not, then your marriage certificate will need to be certified by the issuing authority/country.

Yes, we have a red book and I bring it with me but looks like they don't fully understand what I need. That's why I want a photo, covering names and personal data, of a white book marriage certificate to show them. Thanks for your comment.

Getting a white book copy of the Marriage Certificate is rarely a problem, if one of you has a hukou. I'm not seeing where anyone has posted a copy of that.

 

I'm sure someone will be able to post theirs for you, though.

There's this bit of news (I assume you were married before April 1)

 

https://china.usembassy-china.org.cn/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/life-china-living-working-marriage/

Quote

As of April 1, 2019, two foreigners are not allowed to register their marriage at Civil Affairs offices in China (marriages between a foreigner and Chinese national are still permitted.)  This means that two foreigners can no longer obtain a Chinese marriage certificate.  This new regulation was published on March 29, 2019, and went into effect nationwide as of today.  The details of this announcement can be found here: http://www.mca.gov.cn/article/xw/tzgg/201903/20190300016006.shtml (in Chinese only)  or you can call the Civil Affairs hotline at 962200.

Hi Randy. Yes we did it before. We have our red books in Chinese but for immigration issues we need some kind of white book translated and notarized. I will try to get it this afternoon again in a different  Public Notary. Thanks for your comments.

Keep in mind, though, that YOUR red book will state that YOU are married to your spouse, while THEIR red book will state that THEY are married to you.

 

Chinese white book documents are issued for use overseas, using a standard Chinese forrmat. Anything else may rejected by the consulate.

 

Just sayin', since I have no idea what you're looking at.

I went today to a different Gong Zheng Shu and looks like they will do it. I will have to pick it up this Sunday. We will see if this is the correct document.

Just found this

 

The red book Chinese marriage certificate is a  结婚证 or Jiéhūn zhèng

 

The notation on the white book issued at the Gong Zheng Chu, or 公证处 is 结婚公证书 or Jiéhūn gōngzhèng shū
