To apply for the establishment of a social organization, the promoters shall submit the following documents to the registration authority: an application for preparation; The approval document of the competent business unit; Capital verification report and proof of the right to use the place; Basic information and identity certificates of the promoters and the person-in-charge to be appointed; The registration authority of the draft articles of association shall, within 60 days from the date of receiving all valid documents listed in Article 11 of these regulations, make a decision on whether to approve or disapprove the preparation; If it is not approved, it shall explain the reasons to the promoters.

A social organization to be established shall convene a general meeting or a general meeting of members within 6 months from the date of approval of the establishment by the registration authority, adopt the articles of association, produce an executive body, a responsible person and a legal representative, and apply to the registration authority for establishment registration.

Social organizations apply for engraving seals and opening bank accounts with the Registration Certificate of Social Organizations as Legal Persons. Social organizations shall report the seal style and bank account number to the registration authority for the record. The most complicated of all these procedures is that there must be a competent business unit, which must be a state organ and related to your group's business. For example, the Internet Society usually calls the Information Industry Bureau or something, but this competent department has no obligation to approve your application, which means that whether you meet the requirements or not, he can not approve it, so you must try to convince him. This is the whole process. Good luck.
