Have you ever stared at an email from a government agency or a university that says, “Please submit the original physical copy obtained from the issuance office in China,” and just wanted to scream?
You are thousands of miles away. You have a job. You have a life. You cannot just book a flight to Shanghai, quarantine, navigate a confusing government building in a language you might not speak fluently, just to pick up one piece of paper.
So, the big question is: Can someone collect documents in China for me?
The short answer is: Yes. And honestly, it’s often safer and faster than asking a random friend or relative to do it.
Why “Asking a Friend” Often Fails
We see this a lot. You might ask an old classmate or a distant cousin to help. They say “sure,” but then:
- They get busy with their own work.
- They don’t understand the specific bureaucratic requirements (stamps, seals, notarization).
- They feel awkward pushing back when a clerk says “no.”
When you are dealing with visa applications, university admissions, or business compliance, you can’t rely on favors. You need a professional.
We Are Your “Feet on the Ground”
At Zerrand, we specialize in exactly this kind of awkward, “impossible” logistics. We offer a dedicated China & HK Document Proxy Service.
Think of us as your personal administrative assistant who happens to be right where you need them.
What we actually do:
- University Transcripts & Diplomas: We go to university archives (even if you graduated 10 years ago) to retrieve sealed transcripts.
- Legal & Government Papers: We visit local police stations for non-criminal records or notary offices for certifications.
- Business Documents: We collect business licenses or tax forms directly from the bureau.
Real Life Story: We recently helped a client who needed a sealed academic transcript from a university in Southern China for a Canadian immigration application. The university refused to mail it internationally. Our team went to the campus, verified the documents, and used a trusted international courier to get them to Canada in 3 days.
More Than Just Documents
Sometimes, it’s not just about picking up a paper. Sometimes you need someone to be there.
Maybe you need to verify if a supplier’s factory actually exists, or you need someone to physically sign a contract on your behalf. This is part of our broader Cross-Border Services. We handle the messy, offline tasks that digital tools just can’t solve.
How It Works
Don’t let distance stop your plans.
- Tell us what you need and where it is.
- We authorize a local runner.
- We go get it.
- We FedEx/DHL it to your doorstep.
If you are stuck and need a human in China right now, let’s talk.
