Industry Qualification Review

Industry qualification is a one-time review that confirms your organization is a legitimate mini dramas or mini games publisher. This process protects the platform and users by verifying that app developers are authentic and compliant before your app goes live. After submitting a link to representative work and supporting materials, your organization will be approved to launch your app.

Prerequisite

Before starting the industry qualification review process, your organization must have already completed business verification on the Developer Portal.

Required materials

For industry qualification, you must provide the following items, depending on whether your company is a mini games or mini dramas publisher.

Company introduction

Provide an introduction to your company, including but not limited to the following:

• Date of establishment
• Summary of main business dealings
• Personnel composition (total headcount, role types, number of employees per role)
• Company's official website
• Supplementary materials

The more detailed the information you provide, the more it will assist our team in conducting a thorough assessment.

Links to representative work

Refer to the information below for directions on how to retrieve a playable link to your representative work: a mini drama, or a mini game. If your representative work is on a platform not shown below, you must provide a playable link after it has been launched on that platform.

Google Play

On the app details page, click the more options icon in the upper righthand corner. Then copy the link from the ensuing pop-up window.

App Store

On the app details page, tap the share icon in the top-right corner, and then copy the link from the ensuing pop-up window.

WeChat Mini App

Enter the mini drama or mini game and then tap the button in the upper righthand corner. Copy the link from the ensuing pop-up window.

Douyin Mini App

Enter the mini drama or mini game and then tap the button in the upper righthand corner. Tap "Share" in the ensuing pop-up window to obtain the link.

Proof of identity

If the mini drama or mini game link you provide belongs to an entity that is different from your verified business, you must submit supporting proof of identity. Listed are possible scenarios that require proof of identity:

• The link belongs to an entity that is registered in a different country from your verified business.
• The link belongs to an entity that develops dramas or games, while your verified business is an entity that publishes dramas or games.

There are two acceptable forms of proof of identity. Choose one that fits your business scenario:

• Business registration documents for both entities: If the legal representative is the same for both the entity that owns the link and your verified business entity, they can submit the registration documents for both entities.
• Authorization letter: This authorization letter must be issued by the app developer entity, stating that your verified business entity is authorized to publish and operate its mini drama or mini game on TikTok. The authorization letter must be stamped with your entity's official seal.

Upload one PDF with your proof of identity. The file size must not exceed 10 MB and 30 pages. You may only upload one file.

Your TikTok Customer Manager

If you have an established TikTok for Business Customer Manager, please provide their email address. Only an official email address from "@bytedance.com" will be accepted.
