• Domain names used by Internet information service providers must be legally registered.
  • For individual applications, the registrant shall be the individual himself or herself.
  • For organizational applications, the registrant shall be the organization (including the shareholders), principal leader, or senior administrator.
• Internet information service providers must provide authentic and complete identity information for verification of their identity, as required by relevant laws and regulations. Otherwise, Huawei Cloud will not provide ICP filing services.

If the domain name is registered by a shareholder, principal leader, or senior administrator, more proof materials are required, such as the stock certificate, Articles of Association, tax payment certificate, and insured deposit certificate.
