Compare the processes: US documents used in Taiwan, vs Taiwan documents used in US?

Customers have been asking about the processes.

Use US official docs in Taiwan:

For US issued documents, for example, Santa Clara county issued marriage certificate, to be used in TW for the purpose of updating TW household registration records:

. Get your certified version of the marriage certificate from the county.
. Get it translated to traditional Chinese written language, and have it notarized.
. Submit to TECO for document verification/authentication.  TECO will do on both the certified original and the translated documents and combine them into one set of document.
. Bring to TW household registration office to update your household registration records.


Use Taiwan official docs in US:

For TW issued documents, for example, a household registration transcript, to be used in US for green card application:

. Get your certified version of household registration transcript from TW.   This must have the TW household registration office seal on it.
. Get it translated to English language, and have it notarized.
. Submit to USCIS as supporting document.
