Every country has its own collecting body, its own filing calendar and its own way of certifying that a company is up to date. In China, these elements form part of the file of every firm listed by the network.
The social security clearance certificate is the document that sums everything up: at a given moment it states whether the company has filed and paid. It is also the one that expires soonest, and the first the network asks its partners to renew. The table of documents below indicates which body issues it in China and under which wording to apply for it.
The Chinese checkpoint is singular and non-negotiable: the bookkeeping agency licence (代理记账许可证书) issued by the local finance bureau, verifiable on the Ministry of Finance national platform. We further ask for the business licence (营业执照) bearing the unified social credit code, the tax and social security certificates obtained through the provincial electronic portal, and a written answer on the mechanism adopted for transferring personal data out of China. The legal representative's name must match the public register exactly. Dated screenshots from the public registers are expected alongside the documents themselves.
