Document Type: Original and photocopy
Format: Paper and electronic versions
Submission Method: Online or in-person submission
Acceptance Criteria: Applicants must provide complete and compliant materials. This requires submitting electronic materials through the online system, presenting original documents in paper form for on-site verification, and submitting photocopies.
Instructions for Application: The certificate must be issued by the police, security department, or court in the applicant's country of nationality or habitual residence. It must be authenticated either by a Chinese embassy or consulate in that country, or by the embassy or consulate of that country in China. For certificates issued in Hongkong SAR, or Macao SAR, or Taiwan region, notarization by local notarial agencies is required. Habitual residence refers to the country or region where the applicant has most recently resided continuously for more than one year after departure from their home country, excluding any time spent in the Chinese mainland. The certificate must have been issued within the last 6 months. Foreign high-end talents (Category A) may use a commitment-based system for this requirement. Declarations solely stating that the individual has no criminal record will not be accepted. Non-oath-based certificates of no criminal record issued by diplomatic missions (including foreign embassies and consulates in China) are acceptable without further authentication. All non-Chinese supporting documents must be accompanied by a Chinese translation and bear the official seal of the employer.
