Per Order No. 33 of the MIIT, you must display the ICP filing number on your website or app after your filing is approved. This number must link to the MIIT's filing management system. In some provinces, you are also required to add a copyright notice to the footer of your website.
Add the ICP filing number
After your ICP filing is approved, you must display the ICP filing number issued by the MIIT at the bottom of your website. You must also link this number to the MIIT website at beian.miit.gov.cn. To learn how to find your ICP filing number, see Step 5: Query the progress and result of an ICP filing.
If you fail to display the ICP filing number, the provincial communications administration of your registered location may order a correction and impose a fine from CNY 5,000 to CNY 10,000.
What to display
The province of your ICP filing registration determines whether you add the entity filing number or the website filing number to your website footer. If you have multiple domain names that point to the same website, see How do I add the filing number if multiple domain names point to the same website? for specific instructions.
If your ICP filing was registered in Guangdong province, you must display the entity filing number at the bottom of your website.
If your ICP filing was registered in any province other than Guangdong, you must display the website filing number at the bottom of your website.
