What is "document authentication"? 什麼是文件證明

Government offices require that foreign issued documents be authenticated before can be accepted.  

文件證明是國際通行使文件產生跨國公信力的方式. 

Foreign documents such as birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce decree, death certificate, etc. require translation and notary, before going through the document authentication process at TECO.  

外國文件包括出生證明, 結婚證書, 離婚文件, 死亡證明, 皆須先翻譯成正體中文及公證, 然後再到經文處辦理文件證明.

Household Registration Offices or local municipal offices can accept only properly translated/notarized/authenticated traditional Chinese written language documents.  

中華民國戶政事務單位只接受完成TECO文件證明的正體中文之文書; 無法接受外文版本 (英, 法, 德, 意, 西, 葡, 俄, 日, 韓, 泰, 越南, 菲律賓, 印尼, 馬來, 緬, 阿拉伯, 等多國文字).
