Certified translations of Hong Kong Certificates of Single Status

When presenting a certificate of no impediment or single status from Hong Kong in countries which do not have English as an official language, then a certified translation may be required. The certified translation must meet the requirements of the destination country, so that a translation done locally in Hong Kong may not be valid.

Depending on the recipient country and authority, there are generally two options. The first option is to obtain a translation certified by a Hong Kong apostille, giving the translation the same validity as a notarised translation done in the destination country (although some countries may have specific requirements). The second option is to obtain a certified translation locally in the destination country.
