Which websites need to apply for ICP business license for value-added telecommunications services?
Determine whether to operate a website and use the Internet to carry out related business for profit.
General operating websites, such as classified information websites, social platforms, talent recruitment, paid downloads, website production and other websites.
Special industry websites involving pre-approval, such as games, music, live broadcast, animation, news, online literature, online academic reports, online electronic magazines, videos, education, medical and health information, medical information, medical devices and other industries involving pre-approval, need to obtain the approval documents from the competent department of the industry before applying for ICP license.
If it's just an official publicity website, the website doesn't involve any business expenses, just do the domain name filing, and other documents don't need to be handled. However, if e-commerce websites suppress or operate telecom business, they must apply for an Internet value-added telecom business license (ICP certificate). To engage in telecommunications business, it is necessary to obtain a telecommunications business license issued by the competent department of information industry in the State Council or the telecommunications regulatory agencies of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. No organization or individual may engage in telecommunication business activities without obtaining a telecommunication business license.
