With the advent of China's open door and trade liberalization policies, there have been an tremendous increase of trade and civil exchanges between enterprises and people in the Mainland China and those in Hong Kong.  In the circumstances, there have been acts, matters and documents emenating from Hong Kong requiring trusted proofs in Mainland China. Notary Public in Hong Kong may notarise documents, matters and acts for use overseas, except in Mainland China. Documents, matters and acts of Hong Kong needed to be used in Mainland China require attestation, certification or witnessing by a China-appointed attesting officer. It is usually called "attesting" services instead of "notarial" services.

We have two partners who are Hong Kong notaries (Thomas Tse and Charles Tse). We also have  lawyer  Raymond Tang Tai-ming who is a China-appointed attesting officer appointed by the Chinese Ministry of Justice.
