To perform verification, you can enter three pieces of information: the full company name, the Unified Social Credit Code, and the legal representative's name. The service returns the corresponding verification result.
If the information contains numbers or special characters, make sure they are in the correct half-width or full-width format.

Invoices can be verified on the same day they are issued (T+0). However, a delay of several hours is possible.
