Document Notarization
Solutions Consulting provides various consulting services to businesses and individuals. One of the services it offers is Document Notarization.

Generally, when conducting business activities that involve cross-border transactions, such as the use of domestic documents abroad or foreign documents within a country, including documents from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan intended for use in Mainland China, the documents must be notarized by a lawyer according to the requirements of the certifying entity. It is necessary to confirm the document to be notarized, its purpose, and where it will be used before determining whether notarization can be carried out. Common types of notarization include:
CPA refers to a Certified Public Accountant who has obtained a CPA certificate and practices in an accounting firm.
Accountant Verification and Hong Kong Company Accountants refer to professional accountants who verify the authenticity and consistency of your commissioned company’s registration documents at the Hong Kong Registrar and Inland Revenue Department. After verification, they sign and stamp copies of your company documents, certifying their consistency with those on file at the Hong Kong Registrar, assuming legal responsibility thereafter.
