(I) What is notarization? Notarization refers to that the national
authorities certify lawful action, lawful documents and facts
to be true, legal in order to protect the public property and
the individual rights and rightful benefits in terms of identity
and property in lieu of the law. Notarization is a non-lawsuit
activity.
(II) What is accreditation?
Accreditation is also referred to as consular authentication,
which means that the diplomatic or consular authority of one
country certifies the authentication of the final signature
and seal on the notarized documents issued by the notarization
or accreditation organizations. The purpose of consular accreditation
is to enable the documents notarized by one country to be
accepted by another country and to avoid the influence on
the lawful validity of the documents outside the country due
to the doubt about the authentication of the signature and
seal on the documents. Consular accreditation usually only
confirm the notary, notary office, the officials of accreditation
and the authentication of the signature and seal on the documents
regardless of its content.
