Document retrieval in Kinmen County
For residents of Kinmen County, including Jincheng, Jinhu, Jinsha and Jinning, 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 Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA) headquarters in Taipei when they are needed abroad.
Request a quote for Document retrievalKinmen's close ties with Xiamen mean cross-strait documents are common. We handle them remotely and submit to BOCA in Taipei on your behalf.
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 Kinmen County?
No. Clients in Kinmen County 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 Fujian Kinmen 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.
