As stipulated in the regulations issued by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), all domain name registrants must submit real, accurate, and complete information of registered domain names. Otherwise, the domain names are canceled. Therefore, you must submit the required materials and pass real-name verification after you register a .cn domain name. The verification process includes real-name verification of the registrant and a review of the naming of the domain name.
The domain name registrars at the Alibaba Cloud international site (alibabacloud.com) are registrars outside China. You cannot apply for an Internet content provider (ICP) filing for a domain name registered at the Alibaba Cloud international site (alibabacloud.com). If you want to deploy your services such as websites in the Chinese mainland, you must register your domain name and complete the ICP filing for your website at the Alibaba Cloud China site (aliyun.com). Otherwise, your website may be inaccessible in the Chinese mainland.

Materials required to complete real-name verification for individual registrants
For individual registrants, ID cards of Chinese residents are required to complete real-name verification.
When you enter the material information, make sure that the name of the registrant is the same as that on the identity document.
Requirements for uploading materials
You can upload an image with a size of 55 KB to 1 MB in the JPG or BMP format. The image can be a scanned color copy, a digital photo of the original identity document, or an electronic version of the business license.
You must submit a clear photo that contains the complete identity document, including the borders of the identity document without cover or smudges. Seals affixed by authorities must be in red, clear, and complete.
Do not alter the identity document or modify the content of the identity document by using Photoshop. If the format of the photo is not supported, do not directly change the file name extension. Instead, you can use a photo editor to convert the photo format to JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, HEIC, or WebP.
To facilitate the verification process, we recommend that you submit a scanned copy of your resident identity card.
