A : |
A document of proof of Chinese ethnic origin means a document of proof of foreign identity that states nationality or ethnicity of the holder as Chinese, or a certificate of Chinese ethnicity issued by a ROC Foreign Representative Office. Where a person applies for an Overseas Compatriot Identity Certificate by submitting proof of Chinese ethnicity, the OCAC will annotate on the Overseas Compatriot Identity Certificate issued the fact that the applicant had lodged the application on the basis of such proof of Chinese ethnicity; the substantive validity of such an Overseas Compatriot Identity Certificate will be determined by the relevant authority responsible for each specific purpose. |
