An aromatic polycarbonate resin is produced under the conditions that the flow velocity of the reaction mixture in a pipe through which a molten reaction mixture passes is a specific value or more, the viscosity-average molecular weight of the reaction mixture is 1,000 or more, the sum of the average retention times of the reaction mixture is not longer than 3 hours, the wall temperature of the pipe through which a molten reaction mixture passes is set to be higher than the temperature of the reaction mixture in the pipe, the catalyst deactivation agent is added within 2 hours after the completion of the melt polycondensation reaction, the filtration is carried out by using a filter having a specific retained particle size under a specific pressure difference, specific treated amount of the aromatic polycarbonate resin per unit area of the filter and a ratio of W (flow quantity of filtered polymer)x1,000/A (maximum area of the polymer path in the filtration vessel) falling within a specific range, etc. The present invention provides a process for producing an aromatic polycarbonate resin and its molded article having excellent color and transparency as well as excellent color stability and thermal stability in high efficiency while suppressing contamination with foreign matters and the discoloration and gel formation of the resin.
