Not everyone in China holds a booklet. Four documents carry the same registration, and which one you were given depends on how your household is registered.
The family booklet: a notice page, a household page carrying the serial number and address, and one resident registration card for each member.
It is the form that shows relationships, because the household page and the cards are read together. That pairing is what a family petition rests on.
Usually what offices ask for. Photograph the household page and every card, not only the card with your own name on it.
Students and new employees are often registered in a collective household held by a university or an employer, and are issued one loose card instead of a booklet.
The card proves the person. It cannot prove a parent or a spouse, because the household it belongs to is an institution rather than a family.
Depends on what was asked. If you are proving a relationship, ask your parents for the family booklet as well and send both.
A certificate the local police station prints from the same register, usually when the booklet is held elsewhere or has been lost.
It states the facts in running text rather than the booklet’s grid, and it carries the station’s own seal and issue date.
Depends on what was asked. Send it as issued; if the office named the booklet specifically, request the booklet too.
The document that moves a registration from one place to another. It is surrendered at the destination station, which then writes the person into the local register.
While it is in your hands the registration is between two addresses, so it records a move rather than a household.
A different record. We translate it, and it stands on its own; for household proof, use the register at either end of the move.
Whichever form you hold, photograph it open and flat. One photo of an open booklet carries two printed sides, and both of them are translated.
Real casework
Three anonymised orders. None of them is a household register, and all three turned on a habit this document rewards: reading the whole artefact before deciding what it says.
Read together
The front page said one thing and the back page qualified it. We translated both, because a reader given only the front would have drawn the wrong conclusion — the same trap as a card sent without its household page.
Read the case
Seals
Two institutions had signed and sealed a single sheet. Each impression was rendered where it sits, which is how we handle a household page carrying seals from two different authorities.
Read the case
Name consistency
The record and the passport spelled the same name differently. The passport governs and the note says so, which is the rule we apply to every name written into a register.
Read the caseHow it works
Upload once. We check the files and confirm the total before payment. Then our team translates, reviews, and certifies the complete package to the AcceptReady™ standard we publish.
Photograph the booklet open and flat, one photo per spread, from the notice page through the last card.
Michael Chen translates the register and a second linguist checks names, dates, and every identification number against the scan.
Check the draft against your photos, spread by spread. Nothing is certified until you say the set is complete.
One photo of an open booklet is one page.
Two printed sides in the frame, one page on the bill.

Cost
A certified hukou translation costs $24.95 per page you send, and a photo of the open booklet counts as one page even though it carries two printed sides.

A note on “100% acceptance”
If a service promises “100% acceptance,” be careful — no one controls USCIS’s decision. What actually protects you is the written remedy: we revise free, or refund in full.

“I had photographed only the card with my name on it. They wrote back the same afternoon asking for the household page, and explained why the petition needed both.”

“Mine was a university collective registration, so all I had was a single card. They took my parents’ booklet as well and delivered the two as one certified set.”

“The translation marked each seal where it actually appears, including the ones stamped across the individual cards. My attorney noticed and said most translations skip those.”

Questions before ordering
If your registration does not match one of these situations, send it anyway. Support replies in 15–30 minutes during support hours.
Here — upload the booklet and the certified English translation comes back, typically within 24 hours. What USCIS asks for is set out in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3): a complete English translation, plus the translator’s signed statement that it is accurate and that they are competent to translate from Chinese. Both travel with every order, at $24.95 per page.
Yes, when every page you were issued is translated and the set carries a signed certification. Officers read the household page against the individual cards to confirm a relationship, so a partial set is the usual reason one comes back. Ours are prepared to the AcceptReady™ standard we publish, and translation-related corrections are revised free.
Every page you submit has to be translated in full, so the question is really which pages to submit. Send the household page and the card for each person your filing names; officers compare the two, and a card on its own does not show who else is in the household.
One photo is one page on your bill, even though an open booklet shows two printed sides. We translate both sides and lay them out the way you photographed them, so the pages line up when someone compares the two.
It is the same register, issued in a different form. A collective household holds the booklet, and you were given the card for yourself, which proves your own details but not a family relationship.
It is $24.95 per page you send, so three photos of an open booklet cost $74.85. Pages are counted as you submit them, and a dense registration card is still one page because we do not bill by word count.
Yes, and both get checked rather than copied. Each seal is marked where it sits, including the impression struck across every registration card, and each 18-digit number is verified against the date of birth and sex recorded beside it.
No. The printed cover carries no personal data, and most people photograph from the notice page inward. We note in the translation that the cover was not submitted rather than inventing a title page for it.
The one on your passport, so the packet agrees with itself. Where the register and the passport differ, both appear and a translator’s note records which document each spelling came from.
Send them. The address-change and amendment pages are usually empty, and a translation that shows them empty tells the reader nothing was recorded there — which is different from a page that was left out.
Rarely for a USCIS filing, where a signed certification is what the rule asks for. Courts, consulates, and some foreign registries do ask for it, and we add the step for $19.95 per order.
Typically within 24 hours for a booklet of a few photos. Rush and Super Rush are available when a filing deadline is closer, and the delivery time is shown before you pay.
Four things, and you can check all four yourself. Compare any line of the original hukou with the translation, including the text inside stamps. Put the two documents side by side — same page count, same order, tables and stamps in the same places. Read the Certificate of Accuracy for the complete-and-accurate statement, the competence statement, the signature, date, and company stamp. Then confirm the wording matches what your receiving office publishes. Those four checks are the AcceptReady™ standard, and CertTranslate publishes it in full. Read the AcceptReady™ standard.
What we check before certification
These four come up on family petitions, admissions files, and consular submissions. Each is checked against your photos before the certificate is signed.
Our check: We check the set before payment and tell you which page is missing, because the relationship lives in the pairing rather than on either page alone.
Our check: The station seal is struck again across each registration card. Every impression is marked where it appears, not summarised at the front.
Our check: Each 18-digit number is checked against the birth date and sex printed beside it, and against its own check digit, before it goes on the page.
Our check: Empty amendment pages are translated as empty. A reader can then see that nothing was recorded, rather than wondering what was removed.
The standard behind these checks
AcceptReady™ is CertTranslate's published standard for certified translations: complete word-for-word translation, mirrored page layout, signed and stamped Certificate of Accuracy on letterhead, and matched to the receiver's published requirements.
How to check each one yourselfChecked before certification. If an authority later requests a translation-related correction, revisions remain free.
Start my translationCommon filing contexts
A household register is read as proof of who belongs with whom. The reader is matching the people named in your filing against the people written into one household.
The same booklet does duty in admissions and consular work, where the question narrows to identity and to the address a person is registered at.
A parent or sibling petition rests on two people appearing in one household, which is why the household page travels with the cards.
Civil-status and address history are read from the register, so the pages recording moves matter as much as the current entry.
Schools and evaluators use the register to confirm identity and date of birth against the rest of an application.
Consulates confirm household composition before acting on a request that depends on a family relationship.
