Shanghai QR Code: complete passport registration before you need a city service

Use Suishenban’s foreigner-services path and allow time for the stated passport review.

Shanghai’s municipal guide says the Shanghai QR Code (Suishenma) can be used for services including healthcare, transportation and tourism, and that foreign-passport holders can access specific services after registration. It directs users to the Suishenban app’s English Login sign-up flow, where passport registration uses a manual photo review; after successful authentication, the guide directs users to + → International → Shanghai QR Code. Service access, review timing, app availability and eligibility are live conditions, so complete the current registration flow before a time-sensitive need.

A clear next step

  1. Install or open Suishenban and use its current English Login sign-up route.
  2. Enter the requested passport information and allow for the stated manual photo-review process rather than expecting instant approval.
  3. After authentication succeeds, use the current + → International → Shanghai QR Code route and confirm the service you need is available.

Questions

What to keep in mind.

Will passport registration immediately unlock every Shanghai QR Code service?

No. The guide describes manual passport-photo review and access to specific services. Check the current app for authentication outcome, eligibility and the live service option.
