China registry lookup
China Business Registry Search
Search Chinese company registry data by company name or USCC, then use ChinVerify to confirm registration status, legal identity, business scope, and public risk signals before you approve a supplier.
Check registry status
Review whether the entity appears active, cancelled, revoked, or affected by public status signals.
Use USCC when available
The 18-digit Unified Social Credit Code is usually the most precise identifier for registry lookup.
What you can check in a China company registry search
A registry search should start with facts that identify the legal entity behind a supplier, exporter, factory, or business partner. Use the record to confirm the legal name, USCC, current status, registered region, business scope, and other baseline fields.
Those fields help you answer the first question: is this the same Chinese company shown on the quotation, business license, contract, invoice, website, and bank details?
When registry search becomes company verification
Registry data alone does not prove that a supplier is safe, reliable, or authorized to handle your transaction. Treat it as your first gate, then compare the company record against commercial documents and public risk signals.
If the legal entity, USCC, bank beneficiary, registered scope, or contact story does not line up, pause the transaction and request evidence before moving funds.
China Business Registry FAQ
What is a China business registry search?
A China business registry search checks official public company registration data, including legal name, registration status, business scope, registered region, and identifiers such as the Unified Social Credit Code.
Can I search the China company registry by English name?
You can start with an English company name, but Chinese companies are not always required to maintain an official English name. Use the Chinese legal name or USCC when available for more precise matching.
What is the difference between company registry search and company verification?
Registry search confirms baseline legal identity and registration facts. Company verification adds document matching, status review, risk-signal review, and business context before payment, contract, or onboarding decisions.
Is registry data enough to approve a supplier?
No. Registry data is the starting point. You should also match the entity to invoices, contracts, bank details, websites, and supplier claims before approval.
