curtlives Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hi There, I have read a post or two about notarizing the marriage certificate. We got the red book which is our marriage certificate. The government actually gave us two. One for me and the other for my Chinese wife. I didn't read anything on the Guangzhou Website about the need to notarize the marriage certificate, but this could be important. So I would like some help from those who already been around this bend. curtlives Link to comment
samsong Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 All I did was scan and made color copies of my little red book to send in with the immigration forms. I didn't get them notarized. All worked out OK. No need to notarize. Link to comment
ktmracer Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 That Red Book will need to be translated into English then this translation copy notarised. There's alot of advice and guesses here but check the instructions w/ the forms (I130) it's stated there concerning this. Link to comment

Recommended to get a couple copies for future uses. Link to comment

warpedbored Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 You need a notorial translated copy, same as her birth certificate and any previous divorce decree. Link to comment
curtlives Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Yes, they give what is called "the white book" with the notorized translated copy, and the white book is as it says "white" Thanks for everyone feedback. When I go to Fuzhou, I will see whether or not they give me a White book and see if I have extra copies. Curtlives Link to comment
