Do I need to scan my passport or complete any ID verification to purchase and activate an EastESIM?

Updated April 22, 2026

No, you do not need to scan your passport or go through any identity verification process to buy or activate an EastESIM. While buying a physical SIM card in many Asian countries, including Mainland China, often requires strict passport registration and can involve lengthy waits, EastESIM simplifies everything. Our service is entirely digital, allowing you to purchase and activate your eSIM with just a QR code. This means instant connectivity, letting you bypass the paperwork and get straight to exploring destinations like Beijing or Hong Kong.
