Document retrieval in Kaohsiung
For residents of Kaohsiung, including Lingya, Sanmin, Zuoying and Gushan, we apply at the local household registration offices, police stations and schools with your authorization, then combine the documents with translation and authentication at the BOCA Southern Taiwan Office in Kaohsiung when they are needed abroad.

Many legalization projects start with a document you do not have yet: a recent household registration transcript, a police criminal record certificate, a transcript from a university you left years ago, or a birth certificate from the country where you were born. Requesting these from outside the right office or country takes time and local knowledge.
Every document is different, so we quote each request individually. Send us a scan and you will receive a fixed price.

Questions and answers
Do I need to come to your office from Kaohsiung?
No. Clients in Kaohsiung can send scans for a quote by email and courier originals to us. When a step requires you in person, such as signing before a notary, we arrange it within the jurisdiction of the Kaohsiung District Court and Qiaotou District Court.
Can you obtain a document without my authorization?
No. Personal documents such as household registration transcripts or police records can only be requested by you or by someone you authorise in writing. We prepare the authorization for you to sign.
I have left Taiwan. Can I still get my police record certificate?
Usually yes. People who have lived in Taiwan can apply from abroad, and we can assist with the application and the subsequent authentication so that the certificate is accepted in your new country.
