In recent years, China has actively promoted the "going out" of the legal service industry, strengthened foreign-related legal services such as lawyers, arbitration, notarization, and commercial mediation, strengthened the construction of foreign-related legal service institutions, continuously improved service quality and efficiency, and effectively served to ensure China's high-level opening-up to the outside world. As of January this year, Chinese law firms have established 180 branches and several offices in 35 countries and regions. The number of foreign-related lawyers in China has reached more than 12000, and the parties involved in foreign-related cases handled by national arbitration institutions have covered more than 100 countries and regions worldwide. The quality and efficiency of foreign-related legal services continue to improve. The reporter recently learned from the Ministry of Justice that the Ministry of Justice is actively promoting the legal service industry such as lawyers and arbitration to go global. In recent years, China has accelerated to improve the level of foreign-related legal services, strengthened the work of lawyers, arbitration, notarization, commercial mediation and other foreign-related legal services, strengthened the construction of foreign-related legal services institutions, promoted the construction of international commercial arbitration centers, played a good role in the "the Belt and Road" lawyers' alliance, and worked hard to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and citizens to "go global", and effectively served to ensure the country's high-level opening up. Overseas remote video notarization is an urgent solution, ranging from investment and operation to family affairs. Many legal procedures cannot be separated from notarization services. However, if a party who is overseas cannot return to China for notarization at the moment, what should they do? In recent years, the emergence of remote video notarization overseas has solved the problem for citizens living abroad. "My father has passed away, and there is a balance in Alipay that has not been withdrawn. I am ready to give up inheriting this amount, but I cannot return to China in the short term. According to the regulations, the heir must present the inheritance notarial certificate to withdraw it. What is the solution?" In October 2023, the Suzhou Public Security Office in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, received a consultation call from Ms. Lu. The staff learned that Ms. Lu is currently abroad and there are other legal heirs to the funds. The notary office has tailored a notarization plan for it - a declaration of abandonment of inheritance rights can be notarized through overseas remote video, and then other inheritors in China can handle inheritance notarization. After holding the public certificate, the funds can be withdrawn. "Declaration notarization is a notarization matter that can be processed through overseas remote video," said the staff of Suzhou Notary Office. On the day of application, the notary completed the verification process with the assistance and witness of the local embassy and consulate staff. Through the Jiangsu Province remote video notarization platform, the notary completed the examination, inquiry, and other notarization procedures with Ms. Lu online. Ms. Lu signed the paper documents such as the declaration of relinquishing inheritance rights, and handed them over to the local embassy and consulate staff for sealing and archiving at the notary office. The entire notarization process was recorded on video. With the collaboration of three parties, the overseas remote video notarization only took more than 10 minutes. Since the pilot work of overseas remote video notarization was launched in 2020, the pilot notarization institutions and pilot embassies and consulates abroad have adhered to the principle of serving the people and solving the problem of parties being unable to return to China for notarization, and have been widely welcomed by Chinese citizens overseas. "On the basis of pilot projects, the Ministry of Justice will further promote overseas remote video notarization work in 2023, and a total of 295 notarization institutions and embassies and consulates abroad will jointly carry out overseas remote video notarization."
