Tips

• Color Image
• Un-altered document/ID
• One inch border around all edges of the document/ID
• Provide only the front of one document/ID, front and back or multiple documents/ID's will be denied
• If the document/ID only displays the name in Chinese, the name will also need to be entered in Chinese
• If the registrant is foreign (not Chinese) and the name contains special non-English characters, CNNIC cannot process the registration. The only option is to provide a registrant name without special characters
