How to Confirm the Real Identity of a Chinese Business Partner

Use this identity verification process to reduce impersonation risk in cross-border deals.

🀝 Why Identity Verification Matters

In cross-border deals, identity mismatch is one of the fastest paths to fraud. A verified legal identity protects your contracts, payments, and internal approvals.

πŸ” Step 1: Verify the Company Name and Registration Number

Search the company name or USCC on the ChinVerify Checker. You can view our Example Report for details. You'll get official data from China's national business registry.

🧾 Step 2: Check the Legal Representative

Every Chinese company has a legal representative who can sign contracts and open bank accounts. Make sure this name matches the one in your communications or contract.

πŸ“ Step 3: Compare Registered Address and Contact Info

Compare registered address and contact identity with invoices, websites, and payment instructions. Inconsistencies should pause the deal until clarified.

⚠️ Step 4: Look for Risk Warnings

Inactive, blacklisted, or abnormal-operation tags indicate elevated execution and compliance risk. These entities should not move forward without senior review.
