Case Study: Navigating 8 Years of Residency for a Nanjing NCR
Securing a Non-Criminal Record (NCR) becomes increasingly complex the longer an expat resides in China. This case study highlights how Asomerit successfully managed the application, notarization, and Apostille process for a Ukrainian professional who lived in Nanjing for nearly a decade.
Client Profile and Challenge
- Applicant: A Ukrainian national
- Residency Duration: A continuous period of nearly eight years, from August 24, 2016, to July 29, 2024.
- Location: Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.
- The Challenge: Covering a long-term residency requires meticulous verification of police records across multiple years. Additionally, the client required an Apostille for international use, necessitating coordination with provincial foreign affairs authorities.
The Asomerit Solution
Asomerit provided an end-to-end remote solution, allowing the client to secure her documents without needing to remain in Nanjing during the administrative processing.
1. Verification and Police Printout
Our team liaised with the relevant bureaus in Nanjing to verify the client's full eight-year history. This involved cross-referencing residency permits and police registration records to ensure no gaps remained in the final certificate.
2. Professional Notarization
The police records were taken to the Shicheng Notary Public Office in Nanjing.
3. Apostille Authentication
Since the document was intended for international use, we submitted the notarized certificate to the Foreign Affairs Office of Jiangsu Province. The document received its Apostille.
The Results
- Document Accuracy: The final NCR successfully certified that the applicant had no criminal record during her entire eight-year stay in the People's Republic of China.
- Efficiency: The transition from notarization on July 30 to Apostille issuance on August 1 demonstrates the speed of our localized coordination.
- Full Compliance: The document included all necessary QR codes and security seals for international verification.
