The registration authority for company registration

Company registration must be carried out in the company registration authority stipulated by the state. According to the Regulations on the Administration of Company Registration and related legal documents, China's company registration authorities are the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and local administrations for industry and commerce at all levels.

No matter the establishment, alteration or cancellation of company registration, it shall be registered in the same registration authority. Moreover, although the relocation of enterprises or the establishment of branches across regions need to be registered with other registration authorities, they must also be registered with the original registration authority for change.
