In order to further promote the healthy and orderly development of Internet APP stores and to regulate the mobile Internet APP information services, the Shanghai Municipal Office of Internet Information will officially initiate recordation of Internet APP stores as of February 2017. The recordation will be based on the Regulations for the Administration of Mobile Internet APP Information Services and the Notice on Initiating Recordation of Internet APP Stores promulgated by the National Office of Internet Information.

  The registration of Internet APP stores is designed to urge APP stores to identify their responsibilities, strengthen product inspections before APPs are offered for downloading and installation, and to promote the healthy and orderly development of the mobile Internet market. More specifically, the following three types of recordation will be required: (i) applications for recordation of the business operations of the APP stores; (ii) applications for changes in the recorded information of the APP stores; and (iii) applications for cancellation of recordation if the APP stores stop offering their services.

  Internet APP stores offering services in Shanghai (i.e. the ICP recordation or license certificate is acquired in Shanghai), must apply for recordation with the Shanghai Municipal Office of Internet Information (see details in the Notes on Recordation). If the APP store fails to complete the recordation process, provides false recordation information, or is involved in serious illegal business activity, it will be investigated and punished in accordance with the law.
