China consolidated several identifiers into the unified social credit code. Older documents can contain a separate registration number, organisation code or tax number. Keep document dates and entity changes in view when comparing them.

Common questions
Common questions
Where is the registration number on a Chinese licence?
Look for the unified social credit code near the top of a current mainland business licence. It is normally an 18-character combination of numbers and capital letters.
Do Hong Kong companies use the same code?
No. Hong Kong has its own company registration and business registration systems. A mainland unified social credit code should not be expected for a Hong Kong entity.
