Bozhou Government Website Unifies Login with Anhui Government Service Portal
Foreign founders operating in China often need to access local government websites for administrative tasks. A recent update from Bozhou Municipal Government affects how users log in to its official website. According to a notice on the site, the Bozhou government website and the Anhui Government Service Portal have unified their member accounts. Users are now required to register an account on the Anhui Government Service Portal and use that account to log in to the Bozhou government website. This change is part of broader efforts to integrate “Internet + Government Services” in the city.
What This Means for Foreign Founders
For foreign entrepreneurs, this means that if you need to use the Bozhou government website for information or services, you will first need to create an account on the Anhui Government Service Portal. The portal is a provincial platform that likely offers various online government services. While the notice does not specify which services are available to foreign users, it is advisable to check the portal’s registration requirements. Typically, such portals require identification, which for foreigners may include a passport or residence permit. Be prepared to provide relevant documents during registration.

- Visit the Anhui Government Service Portal: Go to the official portal website (the exact URL is not provided in the source, but it can be found through search).
- Create an account: Look for the registration option. You may need to provide personal information such as your name, email, and identification details.
- Verify your identity: The portal may require verification through a mobile phone number or other methods. Ensure you have access to a Chinese mobile number if needed, as many government services require one.
