Allow time for Chinese qualification recognition: the published review period is ten to twenty working days
If you need formal Chinese recognition of an overseas qualification, begin before a job, examination, or household-registration deadline. The published assessment period is ten to twenty working days, and requests for more documents or busy periods can add time.
What it takes
Apply and pay online. Document preparation plus review can take around a month, with longer cases possible.
What you may gain
CSCSE handles overseas academic qualification and degree recognition through its online service portal. The process is registration and identity verification, submission of the application and documents, online payment, and evaluation and review. The published review period is ten to twenty working days, excluding weekends and holidays; it concerns the center's review, not necessarily every preparatory or additional-document stage.
Context & considerations
The source lists the qualification certificate, passport or relevant travel permit, residence card or visa endorsements, a photograph, and an authorization statement. The system retrieves entry and exit records, but keep visa documentation. The CSCSE site also publishes notices invalidating recognition documents or suspending particular institutions' applications. Check whether any notice concerns your institution before applying.
