1. Why is Real-name Authentication Required?

According to the Cybersecurity Law of the People’s Republic of China and other laws and regulations, network operators are required to request users to provide real identity information when they handle network access and provide services. Users who do not provide real identity information cannot be provided with related services.

3. What Are the Differences Between Individual and Corporate Real-name Authentication?

Account real-name authentication is divided into two types: Individual Real-name Authentication and Corporate Real-name Authentication:

  • Individual Real-name Authentication: The authentication type is individual, and it supports individual facial recognition authentication.
  • Corporate Real-name Authentication: The authentication type is corporate (including ordinary enterprises, government agencies, public institutions, social organizations, individual businesses, etc.), and it supports legal person facial recognition authentication and corporate public transfer authentication.

Impact of Real-name Authentication on the Account:

  1. Affects Account Ownership:

    • An account that has completed corporate real-name authentication belongs to the company.
    • An account that has completed individual real-name authentication belongs to the individual.

  2. Affects Invoice Information:

    • Corporate authentication can issue VAT special invoices and VAT general invoices with the company’s name.
    • Individual authentication can only issue VAT general invoices with the individual’s name.

【Note】

  • Real-name authentication information is very important for your account and financial security. Please authenticate based on your actual situation.
  • For account security, corporate users should not perform individual real-name authentication.
  • The current account can only be bound to one authentication subject. After the subject change is successful, the original subject information will be unbound from the account.
