The country informed that there is no need to apply for consular certification by the country's embassy or consulate in China, and the country where the document is used can accept the document. This is usually called "single certification", and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs certification is required for visas. Authentication by embassy: after completing the authentication procedures of the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country or the foreign affairs offices of relevant provinces, autonomous regions, and cities (foreign affairs authentication), the authentication by the embassy (consulate) of the country that uses the notarial certificate is processed. This practice of handling two authentications is usually called embassy authentication, also known as double authentication.
