Dingling Annual Inspection Certification: Ensuring "Genuine Enterprises" and "Real Safety"

Recently, many DingTalk administrators have received a friendly reminder in the backend: "Your organization has not yet completed the annual DingTalk certification. Please take action promptly."

Zhang from Hangzhou is an office administrator and also serves as the company's DingTalk admin. After seeing the notification, she was initially confused: "We use DingTalk every day—meetings, approvals, communication with clients—all work smoothly. Why do we need this annual certification?"

The answer lies within the following three real-life security incident cases.

"Corporate Identity" Is the First Step to Building Trust

In the digital era, a company’s most valuable asset is trust. And the first step toward building trust is proving “I am who I claim to be.”

An Incident During Recruitment: Almost Scammed by a "Copycat"

A manufacturing company in East China with over 800 employees began receiving inquiries from job seekers during hiring season: "Does your company have two DingTalk accounts? The HR representative I contacted asked me to pay training fees upfront."

An investigation revealed that someone had impersonated the company on social media, creating an unverified DingTalk account with the same name and profile picture to defraud applicants. Although financial losses were eventually recovered, the company's brand reputation had already been damaged.

After completing the annual DingTalk certification, the issue was resolved: the system locks the organization name, preventing others from creating identical ones; fake accounts are restricted by the platform; and the business can now strengthen public recognition through verified branding.

The company executive said: "Brand awareness truly starts with 'verification.'"

A Screenshot That Nearly Triggered a Business Dispute

A service outsourcing firm narrowly avoided loss due to information leakage. While coordinating client projects in an internal group chat, an employee accidentally shared a screenshot of the contact list containing names and job titles.

To prevent such incidents, the company completed the annual DingTalk certification and enabled directory watermarking and chat watermarking features.

From then on, all screenshots included watermarks, effectively protecting employee privacy and raising overall security awareness.

One Mistaken Click That Nearly Cleared the Entire System

An internet startup’s administrator accidentally clicked “Dissolve Organization,” triggering the dissolution process. Though they urgently appealed to restore data, employees couldn’t log in during that period, halting all operations.

After certification, organizations must first cancel their certification before dissolving—an extra layer of protection that gave the founder greater peace of mind.

Why Perform the Annual DingTalk Certification?

For businesses, a trusted "corporate identity card" is the first step toward commercial success. With this "security lock," companies can operate confidently and expand partnerships.

For DingTalk, ensuring authentic and reliable organizational identities is a fundamental platform safety requirement.

The annual DingTalk certification is more than just a qualification review—it's a customized “credit + benefits” value-added package designed for enterprises.

Note: This certification applies to standard enterprises registered in mainland China. Non-profit organizations such as educational or government institutions follow different verification processes. Overseas organizations are currently not supported. Organizations whose certification expires without renewal will revert to an unverified status—please complete the process on time.

The annual DingTalk certification is available to businesses of all types and sizes. Whether it's a B2B company, a brand-conscious consulting or marketing agency, or a cross-regional enterprise, this certification is highly beneficial. Startups and SMEs can also leverage it to build trust and reduce risks.

What Limited-Time Benefits Can You Enjoy by Completing the Annual DingTalk Certification in January?

Completing the certification not only provides official "identity endorsement" but also unlocks over 20 exclusive benefits worth thousands of yuan.

For example: certified companies receive a digital company seal and 50 free electronic signing credits (limited-time offer in January); all employees enjoy special discounts starting at up to 50% off; access to AI-powered business travel and "Company Pay" functions streamlines travel reimbursement.

The current fee for annual certification is 299 RMB per session (valid for one year). If completed in January, an additional package worth nearly 1,000 RMB is granted:

• 50 free e-contracts via DingTalk Smart Contract (worth 350 RMB): improve compliance and efficiency in contract signing.

• Purchase of DingTalk A1 voice recording card includes a 3-month VIP AI Note-taking membership (worth 177 RMB): enjoy up to 4,000 minutes per month.

• One-year DingTalk 365 membership (worth 339 RMB): help individuals thrive as super contributors in the AI era.

Only one step required: go to the DingTalk address book, open the annual certification page, and submit a photo of your business license along with the legal representative’s ID number.

The system typically completes the review within 30 minutes. Upon successful certification, your organization receives an official identity badge. An annual check is required to ensure information remains accurate and identity stays trustworthy.
