In addition, if the applicant is a company, you need to provide a business license, but if the applicant is an individual, you need to provide a clear copy of your ID card. If the applicant has an English name, a certificate of that English name is also required. In addition, 20 layers of trademark patterns need to be prepared. If it is a color icon, color printing needs to be prepared, and detailed explanations and elaborations must be made. The last thing you need to provide is the attached Chinese nationality certificate.
