Supplier identity and document consistency · China
Compare the company information you received with other available records and observable evidence before relying on supplier claims.
Identify mismatches and unanswered questions. This is not a guarantee against fraud, a legal opinion, official document authentication or proof of solvency.
How it works
Provide company names, addresses and records you want compared.
Check agreed information for consistency and unresolved gaps.
See which claims align, conflict or remain unconfirmed.
Supplier verification scope
Start with the intended contracting counterparty and the records already supplied. These examples show possible inconsistencies, not findings about a particular company.
Compare English and Chinese names, document names and trading names where supplied, noting mismatches or unexplained variations.
What may need clarification: The English name, Chinese name, invoice name, document name or trading identity may differ without a clear explanation linking them to the intended counterparty.
Compare quoted, registered, website, invoice and visit addresses or contacts where relevant to the scope.
What may need clarification: Addresses, telephone numbers, email domains or named contacts may differ across quotations, invoices, websites, supplied documents or site information.
Review supplied document details for consistency, completeness and connection to the stated counterparty without claiming government certification.
What may need clarification: Names, addresses, dates, visible identifiers, stamps or other fields may conflict across supplied documents without implying that document authenticity has been forensically determined.
Flag differences between the contracting supplier and beneficiary information supplied by the buyer; financial legitimacy still requires appropriate checks.
What may need clarification: The beneficiary or account-holder information supplied for payment may not match the contracting or invoicing company and should be clarified before the buyer relies on it.
Where observable, clarify whether the site visited is presented as an office, factory, warehouse or another party's premises.
What may need clarification: The factory, warehouse or office connected to the order may appear to involve another entity, or the relationship may remain unsupported or unresolved within the agreed scope.
Trader, manufacturer or mixed-role claims should be described only when supported by the evidence available, not inferred from marketing language.
What may need clarification: A supplier may describe itself as a manufacturer, factory or trader, while the available documents or observable evidence do not clearly support that stated role.
Evidence classification
A comparison should say exactly which information was provided, observed or unavailable. Do not turn an untested supplier statement into an established fact.
Supplied records or observations agree on a specific point, within the evidence reviewed. This is not an authenticity guarantee.
Names, addresses, documents, contacts or payment information conflict and need a satisfactory explanation.
Documents, site access or independent evidence were unavailable, leaving a buyer question open.
Site observation is optional and must be agreed in scope. Seeing an office, factory or warehouse at one time does not establish ownership, capacity or ongoing access.
Verification process
Gather names, addresses, contacts, quotations, invoices, documents and payment details already supplied.
Identify conflicts and decide which identity or relationship questions matter before proceeding.
Where a visit is within scope, record the site and evidence available without overstating what presence proves.
Use findings as one commercial input and pursue legal, financial or technical checks separately where needed.
Evidence and follow-up
The record should show which fields were compared and what remains unresolved, not merely state that a supplier has “passed.”
Before booking
A simple brief can identify discrepancies to investigate before you place an order or send payment.
Buyer questions
No. It can identify consistency, discrepancies and gaps in supplied information and observable evidence. It cannot remove fraud risk or replace legal and financial due diligence.
Only evidence available within scope can support or challenge that claim. A document, address or visit should not be treated as conclusive ownership or manufacturing proof by itself.
Not automatically. The scope should state whether site observation is needed and what relationship or address question it is intended to clarify.
Verification focuses on identity and supplied information. A factory audit examines the identified facility, production workflow, equipment, quality arrangements and records in greater depth.
