If the documents are produced in Taiwan by the foreign embassies or their authorized agents in Taiwan, they should be certified and verified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- If the proof documents are completed and issued in Mainland China area, they should be certified by Strait Exchange Foundation (SEF).
