Attention: Starting in November 2025, TikTok Shop Philippines will re-collect some additional verification documents required from sellers through the "Seller Qualification Center". If sellers are required to submit documents, TikTok Shop will send notifications via email and the Seller Center inbox, clearly indicating the required supplementary information.

 

1. What is TikTok Shop Seller Qualification Verification?

TikTok Shop Seller Qualification Verification is the process of authenticating a seller's identity and business legality in order to secure their eligibility to sell on the platform. This entails submitting documents such as a government-issued ID or passport for individuals and a business license for corporations, as well as other essential information such as bank account details. The specific documentation and processes vary depending on the seller's type (individual or corporation) and country or location.

It usually includes:

Verification method:

• Submit a copy of a government-issued ID like a passport or driver's license. In Singapore, an NRIC can be used, with an option for SingPass verification.
• In some cases, you may need to take a photo of yourself holding the ID.

Account information:

• The name on your identity document must match the name on your registered TikTok Shop account.
• The bank account used for payouts must also have a consistent name.

Other requirements:

• Age: You must be at least 18 years old.
• Location: You must reside in the country where you choose to open your shop.
• Tax information: You will likely need to complete and submit a tax form, such as a W-9 for US sellers.
• Product authorization: If you are selling branded products, you may need to provide proof of authorization from the trademark owner.

 

2. What do TikTok Sellers need to do?

(1). Sellers will have 90 days from the notification date to complete the post-onboarding requirements and pass the document review.
