What needs to be explained here is that because the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology adjusted the division of telecommunications services in 20 15, ICP certificates were issued for all Internet services before 20 16, and ICP certificates were no longer needed for online payment after 20 16. For example, e-commerce is conducted online, the products traded are physical products, and there are no merchants on the website, which belongs to self-operated e-commerce.

In addition, if your company's website has the following characteristics, you need to apply for an ICP license:

1. Provide users with website design, picture design, animation design and video design through the Internet;

2. Paid use of music, videos and books.

3, such as application stores, software download platforms, recruitment websites and life service websites;

Websites that have not obtained an ICP business license will be reviewed by the Communications Administration and punished as appropriate. In severe cases, they will be forced to close the website. Only in this way can we standardize network security, crack down on all illegal acts of using the network and protect the legitimate rights and interests of netizens.
