If it is my personal application, I only need to submit a request for fee reduction and exemption to the relevant patent management department at the time of application. If it is a company application, you must first go to the local intellectual property office and issue a fee reduction certificate (the information required for the fee reduction certificate should be subject to local requirements). Then, when applying, you need to submit an application for fee reduction and attach a certificate of fee reduction.
