I need to get my application form for a replacement diploma to a US university notarized. Where can I do this in Shanghai?

US COnsulate, American Citizen Services

^ Rip off. You get screwed for about $35. Go to any Chinese notary public and they'll do it. Most places in the US where I needed to hand in notarized documents have accepted a Chinese notary.

I took underh20 advice and went to a Chinese notary public that a local real estate agent recommended. I went there with a Chinese-speaking friend and waited 45 minutes to get service. My friend explained what I needed and after filling out a couple forms was presented a bill for 460rmb which I paid the receptionist at the front desk. After paying up I expected to get my notarized 1 page document but was told it needed to be translated before it can be notarized and this would take a week . I should have asked for a refund there and then. A week later I came back by myself to pick up my notarized 1 page document and was told it needed a few more days to get translated. I was so upset and created a big scene shouting in English this should only take a few hours and wanted my money back. Only one employee there understood some English and explained to the others why I was so upset. They never refunded my money so I will return monday with my Chinese friend to get my 1 page notarized document. Sigh.....I guess this is CHINA.

Every time I have gone to a Chinese notary I made it clear to them that I only needed them to witness my signature and the whole process took about 1/2 an hour or so. I think the most I've ever paid was like 150 RMB or less.

For 460 RMB you could have gone to the US Consulate and used the change for a decent lunch. It's too bad the Chinese notary screwed you over.
