Kia Ora Walker Wang,

 

Thank you for contacting us.

 

People born in China can obtain and provide INZ a notarised birth
certificate from China.

It’s not necessary to have the original birth certificate as a Hukou (also
known as "family passport") is the source document to obtain the notarised
birth certificate.  You will need to approach your local police for a
certificate to prove your date and place of birth then approach the Notary
Public Office for a notarised birth certificate.

The only Chinese citizens who can’t provide a notarised birth certificate
are generally former Vietnam refugees.  INZ can accept a notarised
declaration from these clients

But there is no reason why you will be unable to provide us a Chinese
birth certificate.  You Chinese ID card will not be sufficient to replace
the birth certificate.

 

Regarding INZ requirements for translation if the supporting documents are
to in English, kindly refer to the following link to our website:

You can provide translated copies of your marriage certificate or your
children's birth certificates as evidence of the relationships with you.

 

I hope this is helpful.

Ngā mihi,

Ivy

> NO 1: You know, according to the application checklist of the 2021 new
Residence Visa, applicants need to provide birth certificate and
translating it into English if it is not. For Chinese people, the birth
certificate is Chinese ID card in only Chinese that including name, date
of birth and expiration date, however, these information is available in
Chinese passport in both Chinese and English. So just wondering, do
Chinese people need to translate their Chinese ID card for the application
of the 2021 Residence Visa? Thanks.

> NO 2: For partnership based on the application checklist of the 2021 new
Residence Visa, my wife and my two children have been granted Work Visa,
Student Visa(my daughter)  and Visitor Visa(my son) based on my Post Study
Open Work Visa. So, do I need to provide marriage certificate again when I
apply the 2021 Residence Visa including my wife and my two kids? Thanks
again.
