How to get registered as an agent in Taiwan

An agent registration service is an online process where an individual can register to register their services as an internet service provider.
Agents have to prove they are legal residents of Taiwan to be registered and they must also register for their own internet services.
The process is easy, and it is currently open to all citizens of Taiwan.
It can be done on a smartphone app, but this requires a separate app.
Here’s how to get started.
Agents are required to register with Taiwan’s Government of National Defense (GNRD) and their agency(s).
This means they must register with the relevant government, which will then send an application to the relevant service provider for approval.
Agents will then need to fill out an application form which must be signed by at least one representative of the agent’s agency.
