Individual users can use personal certificates for real-name authentication.

Individual users can upload one of the following certificates for real-name authentication: passport, ID card, Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents or for Taiwan Residents, Residence Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents or for Taiwan Residents, or non-Chinese driver license.
