Do I need a health certificate to apply for a business license?

Legal analysis: there are two situations whether it is necessary to bring a business license when applying for a health certificate: 1. If you have a work unit, you only need a letter of introduction from the unit, and you don't need to bring a business license when applying for a health certificate; 2. If there is no unit, you need a business license to apply for a health certificate.

Legal basis: Article 45 of the Food Safety Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), food producers and business operators shall establish and implement the health management system for employees. Persons suffering from diseases that hinder food safety as stipulated by the administrative department of health of the State Council shall not engage in direct contact with imported food. Food production and marketing personnel engaged in direct contact with imported food shall undergo annual health examination and obtain health certificates before taking up their posts.
