Notary Public Services for Marrying in Hong Kong

If you’re an Australian resident planning to marry in Hong Kong, you’ll need to comply with specific legal requirements. One crucial step involves obtaining a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage (CNIM). This certificate is typically issued by Australian authorities and then legalised or apostilled for use in Hong Kong.

How a Notary Public Can Help:

A notary public can assist in the process by:

• Notarizing Your Signature: This adds an extra layer of legal validity to your documents.
• Providing Guidance: While we cannot provide specific legal advice on Hong Kong marriage laws, we can offer general guidance on the notarization process.

Important Considerations:

• Consult with Hong Kong Authorities: Directly contact the Hong Kong Immigration Department for the most up-to-date information on the specific requirements and procedures.
• Legalisation and Apostille: You may need to have your documents legalised or apostilled by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
• Timeframes: Be aware of the processing times for document legalization and the required notice period for your marriage in Hong Kong.

By working with a qualified notary public and seeking guidance from the relevant authorities, you can ensure a smooth process for your overseas marriage.
