The Consulate General will issue a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (Form FS-240), and a U.S. passport, which will be needed for the child to depart China.

If you buy your kid from there like so many people are doing now, you can get the documentation for your merchandise in English. If you're trying to recover a birth certificate from the past, good luck, try calling a consulate and asking someone there for the best way to pursue it.

Does your country provide a birth certificate in Chinese. Unless you lived in China, Singapore, Taiwan or Hong Kong, I would say 'NO'. Of course not. I don't know the system in your country, or even know, course, where you're from, but if it is not one of the above, in a general way you have to get it translated and notarised before it is a truly legal document,.

Any documents you get in Chinese can be translated and certified into English by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I recently had to translate my wife's birth certificate & other documents. I believe she told me the cost was like RMB10 per document.
With that document and official state stamp, you can register your kid with your consulate.
