Hi i am british and my wife is here on a chinese passport with spouse visa. My wife is applying for a visa to go to Italy but they require the marriage certificate and translation to be stamped by the Chinese embassy,
Does anyone have any experience of this ??

Not sure that the embassy will help you - but the best thing you could do is ask them.

4. Can I apply for notarization from the Chinese Embassy for documents executed in China?
No.
Documents executed in China to be used in foreign countries must complete the following procedures:
1) Documents should be notarized by a Notary Public in China;
2) Documents should be authenticated by a provincial Office of Foreign Affairs Office or the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs;
3) Documents should be authenticated by an Embassy or Consulate General of the relevant country in China.
