How long is the notarial certificate valid? In principle, there is no time limitation for notarized documents. In other words, as long as the notarization is not revoked according to law, it is effective. Notarization itself has no time limit, and exists with the existence of the object to be notarized. The authenticity of the facts involved in some types of foreign-related notarial certificates or the relationship between rights and obligations is variable, such as marital status, no criminal punishment, authorization, etc. Therefore, before applying for domestic consular authentication, please check whether the contents involved in the foreign-related notarial certificate are true and effective. If the public certificate has expired, it is necessary to apply for consular authentication after re notarization. The term of validity of a notarial certificate is not a strict legal concept, but refers to the time limit within which the public certificate can be actually used. Because after the notarial certificate is issued, it has the evidence effect specified by law. Unless there are legal circumstances and legal procedures, the notarial certificate cannot be overturned. Note: (1) The documents indicated in the notarial testimony are an integral part of the notarial certificate. (2) The notarial certificate shall not be altered or supplemented. If it must be modified, it shall be stamped with the proofreading seal of the notary office. (3) The notarial certificate shall be in Chinese. In areas where ethnic minorities live in compact communities or where multiple ethnic groups live together, except for foreign-related notarial matters, the words commonly used by local ethnic groups may be used. (4) The notarial certificate may be attached with a foreign translation if necessary or required by the party concerned. (5) Unless otherwise specified by law, the notarial certificate shall take effect from the date of approval by the approver. The approval date of the approver is the issuing date. (6) If the notarial certificate needs consular authentication, the undertaking notary office shall send it to the relevant department for authentication and collect authentication fees on behalf. Do you understand that?
