Chinese migrants wishing to bring children under the age of 18 over to the Netherlands will be required to provide a legalized birth certificate in which it is clearly stated what the source document was.

The IND (Immigration and Naturalisation Services) has stringent requirements regarding documents originating from China. According to the information available on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' website, the IND has until now required, for anyone born before January 1^st 1996, a legalized certificate as well as a declaration from the hospital at which the birth took place, or the Office of Public Security or from the Ministry of Health. This requirement appears to be untenable.

In a case presented by our China consultant, Mr Adam Diels, the Amsterdam District Court declared that not everyone born in China before January 1^st 1996 was able to get a birth certificate. It remained unclear what the source of the information on the Foreign Affairs website was. The requirement that an additional declaration be provided can therefore no longer be adhered to in future cases. In future, similar cases, the opportunity to prove family ties by other means, such as DNA testing, must be made available.

中国出生公证书

中国人如果想申请未达到18岁年龄的子女来荷兰定居，需要提供一份被认证的出生公证书，该公证书里需要说明公证书是依照那一件原件作出的。移民局对中国的公证书要求十分严。根据荷兰外交部网上的信息移民局直到现在要求申请人如果在1996年1月1日前出生应在出生公证书外还提供一份医院、派出所或卫生部的证明。此要求是没有根据的。

阿姆斯特丹法院在由我们中国部迪亚当先生代理的案件中做出判决并决定，不是每一位在1996年1月1日前出生的中国人都能拿到出生证明书。另外判定外交部网上的信息的来源不明，因此不能要求除了出生公证书外还要求提供其他的证明文件。如遇到这种情况应给申请人机会提供其他的证明例如经DNA（脱氧核糖核酸）样本比较调查证据等。
