What you can establish

The minimum identity match

  • Chinese legal name exactly as printed on the business licence.
  • 18-character unified social credit code.
  • Current registration status and incorporation date.
  • Legal representative and registered address.
  • Business scope, industry, website and region where available.

Why similar names cause errors

An English name may be a brand, a trading style or an informal translation. It is not a unique Chinese registration identifier. Subsidiaries and affiliated companies can also share brands while remaining separate legal entities. Match the code and Chinese name before relying on any wider record.

What registration cannot establish

  • A report presents retrieved company records and faithful translations. It does not assign a risk score, recommend a transaction or certify that a company is safe.
  • A company registration check does not verify ownership of a bank account. Match the beneficiary name independently with your bank, payment provider or the supplier's bank documentation.
  • Where a category contains many entries, the delivered report includes the 20 most recent records available at generation time and labels that limit clearly.

Common questions

Common questions

What is the best identifier for a Chinese company?

For most mainland companies, use the 18-character unified social credit code together with the exact Chinese legal name. The pair is stronger than an English name, website or marketplace profile.

Can two companies have the same English name?

Similar or identical English translations are common because many English names are self-selected and unregistered. The Chinese legal name and registration code distinguish the entities.

What does revoked or deregistered status mean?

It indicates that the current registration state requires attention and may prevent normal contracting. Read the exact translated status and relevant dates, then confirm legal implications for your transaction with a qualified adviser.
