DOCUMENTS REQUIRED(Filled out in Chinese if you hold a R.O.C passport)

Application Form for Authentication / ODT.
- The applicant must complete and sign the Application Form.
- If authorizing someone else to handle the application, the applicant’s (or children’s) information and signature should be filled out in the upper section of the form, while the agent’s (or parents’) information should be completed in the red-bordered section.
- In addition to providing all required documents, the applicant must submit a handwritten power of attorney, as well as the original and a copy of the agent’s identification. The original will be returned after verification, and the copy will be kept on file.
- In Item 9 of the application form, specify the contents and number of copies of the documents to be verified.
Applicant’s ID
- The applicant must provide both the original and a copy of a valid Republic of China (Taiwan) or foreign passport. The original will be returned after on-site verification, while the copy will be kept on file.
- When submitting a copy, ensure that the original passport has been personally signed. Colour photocopies of the passport, including the signature page, should be marked with "Certified True Copy" and signed again on the copy. This procedure also applies to other residence documents.
- For mail-in applications, please indicate that the documents are for the Document Authentication Unit.
- If your passport has expired, you need to renew it or present the expired passport along with a second document that includes your Chinese name and a photo, such as an ID card, ARC (Alien Resident Certificate), Taiwanese driver's license, household registration transcript, etc. Alternatively, you can provide a valid New Zealand passport or other proof of identity.
Original Document or Authenticated Copy by Notary Public
- Documents issued by a hospital must be notarized by a Notary Public within our jurisdiction before being submitted to our office for verification. Please do not use a Justice of the Peace.
- For baby vaccination records handled by a GP (for children under 6 years old) or Health Certificates for Residence Applications (for children 6 years and older), notarization by a Notary Public is not required. Submit both the original and a copy.
- Please photocopy the cover page and the vaccination record pages of the baby’s vaccination booklet, including the NHI number, and have the GP sign them. The original booklet will be returned after verification, while one copy will be verified and one will be kept on file.
- Our office needs to review these documents. Providing the email addresses of the Notary Public and GP may help expedite the processing.
