Is it necessary to notarize rental contract to register permanent residence?
Pursuant to Clause 3, Article 21 of the Residence Law in 2020 stipulating application for permanent residence registration: a) Declaration of change to residence information, including permission for permanent residence registration from the household head and owner of the lawful place of residence that the applicant rents, borrows or stays in or authorized person, unless a written permission has been obtained; b) Agreement or document on renting, borrowing or staying in the lawful place of residence notarized or certified as prescribed by law; c) Written proof of sufficient floor area for permanent residence registration per the law. Therefore, if your family meets all requirements for permanent residence registration at a legal rental house, you will need to prepare an application including notarized or certified rental agreement, and other prescribed documents.
