......With the increasing use of residence permits in Beijing, many criminals have found business opportunities and asked for more than 100 yuan on the Internet to apply for permits. In response to this behavior, the prosecutor reminded that the purchase and sale of Beijing residence permits is suspected of violating the law, and reminded everyone to beware of being deceived.
Case review
Mr. Liu is the legal representative of a company, and the company's main business is to help customers withdraw the Beijing Housing Provident Fund.
One day, in the process of handling business for Sun, Sun said that he did not have a Beijing residence permit, and he didn't want to handle it because he was short of time, so he asked Liu to deal with it, so Liu contacted a person who handled a fake certificate and spent 300 yuan to apply for a fake Beijing residence permit for Sun.
After investigation, from December 2020 to March 2021, the criminal suspect Liu purchased and sold forged Beijing residence permits in the process of handling provident fund withdrawal business for customers Sun and Qian in Changping District, Beijing and other places. It was later seized by the police. A few days ago, the criminal suspect Liu has been prosecuted by the Changping District Procuratorate in accordance with the law.
Links to legal provisions
The available evidence confirms that the criminal suspect Liu bought and sold Beijing residence permits, and his behavior was suspected of the crime of buying and selling identity documents.
According to paragraph 3 of article 280 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, forgery, alteration, or sale of resident identity cards, passports, social security cards, driver's licenses, and other documents that can be used to prove identity in accordance with law are to be sentenced to up to three years imprisonment, short-term detention, controlled release, or deprivation of political rights, and a concurrent fine; where the circumstances are serious, a sentence of between three and seven years imprisonment and a concurrent fine is to be given.
The prosecutor reminded
Since January 1, 2021, Beijing has officially and fully implemented the online application and issuance of electronic residence permits (cards), and handled electronic residence permit (card) applications, endorsements, address changes and other businesses through the "Beijing Residence Permit WeChat Official Account" and "Beijing Pass" APP.
The act of buying and selling residence permits undermines the order of national citizen information management and causes serious harm to society, and should be severely cracked down. Here is a reminder to everyone that any certificate must be handled through legal and compliant channels, and it is not advisable to buy a fake certificate!
