Before you can use Alibaba Gov Cloud products, you must create an Alibaba Cloud account and complete the required verification process.

Background information

  • Create an account: Alibaba Gov Cloud accounts cannot be used to access public cloud resources. You must create a new account for your Alibaba Gov Cloud services.

  • Identity verification: This process determines the ownership of an Alibaba Cloud account. Identity verification is required to ensure that the account belongs to a government entity, such as a government agency, public institution, or state-owned enterprise.
