Since the Provisions on the Handling of Criminal Record Checks by Public Security Organs came into effect in 2022, police authorities in China have been issuing Certificates of No Criminal Record with the template provided in the Provisions. Certificates using this template come with a QR code. You can verify a Certificate of No Criminal Record by scanning the QR code with a cellphone app named “Public Security All-In-One Online Handling”. A picture of the app logo is shown below.

The new template of Certificates of No Criminal Record is in its early stages of implementation. At the time of updating this article, Certificates of No Criminal Record issued by a few cities still have no QR code.
There is a notable limitation to the app. Only Chinese citizens can create an account with the “Public Security All-In-One Online Handling” app which is the first step to use it.
