The Alibaba Cloud ICP filing process consists of seven steps: Step 1, Submit the filing; Step 2, Initial review; Step 3, Authenticity verification; Step 4, Receive mailed documents; Step 5, Review of mailed documents; Step 6, Communication Administration Bureau review; Step 7, Filing successful.
First, you need to register an ID number on the Alibaba Cloud filing website. If your domain has not been filed before, select “New Filing.” Then, Alibaba Cloud will ask you to fill in your personal real information, which includes details from your ID card, such as your current address, down to the specific room and unit number.
Note that you need to purchase a filing service number, which must be included in your personal filing information.
You must bind this service number to the IP address of the server you purchased for it to be usable.
Next is Step 3, Authenticity Verification. You will be required to take a half-body photo in the province indicated on your ID card. If this is inconvenient, it is best to submit a request via the Alibaba Cloud backend to have the filing banner mailed to you. This makes the process much easier. Then, paste the filing banner on your home wall and ask a friend to take a half-body photo of you. After taking the photo, submit a ticket through the Alibaba Cloud backend to have them verify your personal filing photo. Next, fill out the Website Filing Authenticity Verification Form and the Information Security Management Agreement.
Follow the official instructions and sign your name on both forms. Then, print three copies of each document and mail them to the following address:
Please mail to: 4th Floor, Building 9, Shunxing Park, Luoyang Information & Communication Industry Park, East Section of Taikang Road, Luolong District, Luoyang City, Henan Province. Postal Code: 471000
Recipient: Information Certification Department
Contact Phone: 15139943094
Remember to track the progress of your mailed documents. You can check their location online.
Next comes Step 5, Review of Mailed Documents. After Alibaba Cloud staff verify the documents, the process moves to Step 6, where the filing materials are sent to the Communication Administration Bureau for final verification of the website filing number. At this point, you can only wait patiently. Generally, it takes about 15 to 20 days to receive the website filing number.
