What happened?
TikTok Shop Vietnam issued identity-verification requirements, announcing that from July 1, 2026, local individual and business sellers on the Vietnam site must complete identity verification in accordance with the platform’s requirements. The verification uses near-field communication (NFC) technology to read and verify relevant identity information.
The requirement covers local individuals and business entities operating stores in Vietnam. The platform will use real-name identity verification as part of seller onboarding and store-management procedures. The announcement said the measures are intended to meet local e-commerce compliance requirements and reduce the use of false entities to register and operate stores. New sellers and existing business entities must monitor the platform’s verification arrangements and submission requirements.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Onboarding and operating reviews on the Vietnam site are being strengthened. Cross-border teams using local individuals or business entities should include consistency of identity documents in store-compliance management. A common mistake is assuming that a business license can replace technical verification; mismatched information may still delay review. The highest-priority action is to check the store entity, identity documents, and verification device this week and confirm in advance whether NFC verification can be completed.
