[quote=ROGERINCA,245161]Rob, I did not respond immediately to your thread, as you did not indicate in your profile what nationality you are. Also, there are many nation’s consulates in GZ. This has been stated before my me and other members, it would be real helpful for new posters here to show at a minimum their nation of residence in the profile. This will enable another member with the specific information to get back to the poster, faster and in a more precise manner. Next, just for the record….. While it is possible to get the single certificate at the US Consulate in GZ, the process within the US is not necessarily as slow as maybe is illustrated in another response. I live in California and did the following: In the morning, I went to my local courthouse where the divorce was handled and I obtained a ‘certified’ copy of the document. I then took the certified divorce decree to a notary public next door to the court and had it notarized. I then drove one hour to the Secretary of State’s office, and paid $25.00 to have the it certified and the form with the state seal attached. They do this to certify that the notary seal is valid. I was at the Secretary of State office for less than 30 minutes. They also offer express service, for those who cannot drive to the office. I then drove to the post office and express mailed the notarized and certified divorce decree, the Secretary of State office validation certificate, and the two forms for the PRC Consulate in San Francisco, which I had downloaded the previous night online, to the SF PRC Consulate. Exactly four business days later, they express mailed their certification back to me in the express envelope I had also provided to them. I really appreciate the fast (standard) service I received at the PRC, San Francisco Consulate !! In other words, I completed this entire certification process in less than one week’s time. I flew to GZ the following week and we paid the marriage fee, and were married at the civil marriage office in old town GZ City. Moreover, for about $25.00 they translated all of the documents while we waited, and the entire marriage process, with photos, took about one and a half hours. :) [/quote]
