Life Information
Application
for Mobile Phone Numbers

According to the “Prepaid SIM Card Application Guidelines” regulated by
the National Communications and Communications Commission (NCC), each
person can apply for only one phone number under one telecom provider, also
known as“one phone number for one ID”. In addition, the application will
require two forms of ID, known as “Double ID Verification”. If in need of a
SIM card, one can contact a telecom provider’s service center or designated
store, or seek assistance from the university’s international office for
international Chinese students.
The application is divided into two types: one for those aged 20 and above;
the other for those under 20. Details are as below. Please note that your actual
application is subject to judgment of the telecom provider’s service counter
staff.
(A)Aged 20 and above:
1.Primary ID (validity exceeding 3 months): your passport.
2. Secondary ID (validity exceeding 3 months): visa in Taiwan, health
insurance card, international driving licence or alien resident certificate (the
secondary ID needs to be different from the primary ID).
3. Proof of Student Status: Subject to the requirements of each telecom
provider, you need to present a student ID or the university’s offering letter.
4. Guarantor or Guarantee Deposit: Applications for paid-monthly phone deals
require a guarantor or guarantee deposit. The joint guarantor needs to be a
R.O.C. ID holder, aged 20 or above, and is legally liable.
(B)Aged under 20:
1. Same requirements for the primary and secondary IDs and proof of student
status apply as for those aged 20 or above.
2. Legal Representative: Applicants under age 20, regardless of their
nationality, Taiwanese included, will need to be accompanied by their legal
representative(s) to handle the application. Phone number applications by
underage overseas students are subject to the judgment of each telecom
provider. Group applications or relevant documents from the university may be
requested.
3. Joint Guarantor: A joint guarantor is required for those foreign passport
holders when applying for a paid-monthly phone deal. The joint guarantor needs
to be a R.O.C. ID holder, aged 20 or above, and is legally liable.
