• Core Requirement: The applicant must be a legally registered enterprise or organization outside Chinese mainland, and provide valid entity certification documents within the validity period.

• For Enterprises: Submit color scans of the company registration certificate and business registration certificate (e.g., Hong Kong companies need Company Registration Certificate and Business Registration Certificate; Singapore companies need Business License);

• For Individuals: Overseas sole proprietors must provide individual business registration certificates or commercial licenses. If there is no official seal, additional identity association proof is required.

• Compliance Handling: All foreign-language documents must be accompanied by Chinese translations and notarized by a local notary public. Yuwei once assisted a European brand in completing the entire process of "registration document translation - local notarization - Chinese consulate certification" to ensure materials meet review standards.

• Prohibited Situations: Entities under deregistration or revocation, or those with business scopes including WeChat-prohibited categories (e.g., e-cigarettes, medical aesthetic devices), cannot pass the review.

• Identity Requirement: Designate 1 administrator and provide valid identity proof (ID card, passport, or driver’s license).

• Key Restrictions on Contact Information:

• Phone Number: Must be a Chinese mainland phone number (for receiving verification codes); overseas phone numbers are not currently supported for direct registration. Yuwei provides "compliant authorized agency services" for Southeast Asian clients without mainland phone numbers, completing verification through filed phone numbers;

• Email: Must use an email not previously registered with any WeChat official account. Corporate emails are recommended to enhance credibility.

• Permission Association: The administrator’s WeChat must complete real-name authentication. After registration, it will be bound to the account’s security operations (e.g., login verification, function modifications). The administrator can be changed later via the Official Platform.

• Supplementary Materials: On the basis of entity and administrator materials, submit a verification application letter (template downloadable from WeChat official website). If choosing WeChat Verification, additional corporate bank account information must be provided;

• Fees & Process:

• WeChat Verification: Pay a verification fee of RMB 300 per application, with a review cycle of 1-3 working days. After passing, the "Overseas Enterprise Verification" badge and all service account functions are unlocked;

• Micro-Payment Verification: No fee required. The system transfers RMB 1-3 to the corporate bank account; verification is completed by entering the transfer amount. However, some advanced functions (e.g., WeChat Pay) require additional WeChat Verification.

• Yuwei Advantage: Through an exclusive review channel, the verification cycle is shortened from the usual 3 days to 1 working day. A German brand quickly unlocked mini-program docking functions with this service.

• WeChat Pay Activation:

• Basic Qualifications: The official account has completed WeChat Verification; the enterprise has a legal overseas entity and an independent website/APP;

• Settlement Requirements: Supports foreign exchange settlement in 12 currencies (including USD, EUR, HKD, etc.). A domestic corporate bank account is required, or filing through a third-party payment institution. Yuwei has cooperated with 5 compliant payment institutions to assist overseas enterprises in completing filing quickly;

• Mini-Program Docking: The mini-program entity must be consistent with the official account entity, or provide association proof (e.g., parent-subsidiary relationship documents). Yuwei once helped an Australian brand complete the "official account - mini-program" entity association verification.

  
  

1. Misunderstanding 1: Assuming subscription accounts can be registered – WeChat clearly stipulates that overseas entities can only register verified service accounts; subscription accounts must be applied for through domestic affiliated entities. Yuwei once assisted a UK brand in adjusting its registration plan to avoid 20 days of waste due to mismatched materials;

2. Misunderstanding 2: Ignoring document notarization – Unnotarized foreign-language materials are 100% rejected. Yuwei provides integrated "translation - notarization - verification" services, achieving a 100% material pass rate;

3. Misunderstanding 3: Using overseas phone numbers for registration – Mainland phone numbers must be obtained through compliant channels. Never use illegal third-party numbers, as this may lead to account termination.

1. Dual-Team Review: "Compliance consultants + registration specialists" collaborate to pre-check the matching degree of qualification requirements. A French brand passed registration in one go through pre-review;

2. Material Guarantee Service: Provide a standardized material list (including downloadable templates). If registration fails due to incorrect material guidance, the service fee is fully refunded;

3. End-to-End Agency: Handle the entire process from material preparation to verification completion, and synchronize progress across time zones. A US brand completed registration and verification in only 7 days.
