Many of us are far away from home and chasing our dreams in other provinces, but life always likes to play a little joke on us - the ID card suddenly disappears!
Although this thing is small, it is like a golden key to open the door of life, without it, rides, accommodation, and account opening are all blocked.
In the past, you had to travel thousands of miles back to your hometown, which was time-consuming and laborious, but now, you can also reapply for an ID card in other provinces! What's more, the process is much easier than you think!
The state will make it convenient for you, me and him
Thanks to the convenience of our Ministry of Public Security, the policy of handling ID cards in different places launched by them is simply a timely rain for strangers.
The old rule of "you can only do it when you go back to your place of origin" has completely turned the page now!
As long as you are a Chinese citizen, no matter which province you are in, as long as you meet the conditions, a replacement ID card is no longer an unattainable dream.
Preparation materials: Don't look too much, it's actually very basic
Of course, you have to prepare a few things before you reissue it.
The most basic, the household registration book and the residence permit (or temporary residence permit), are the two stepping stones to prove your identity.
If you still have that old half-mutilated ID card on hand, bring it with you, maybe it will come in handy.
Also, don't forget, these materials must be originals and copies, don't run the wrong road when the time comes.
As for other things that may be needed, such as proof of employment and rental contract, depending on local policies, ask in advance so that you don't have to work in vain.
Handling channels: online and offline, you can choose
The good news is that there are now two ways to reissue an ID card.
The first is the traditional offline channel, which goes directly to the household administration hall of the local public security bureau or some community police stations. Remember to check online first, or call to ask if you can make an appointment, which can greatly save queuing time.
The second is online services that keep pace with the times, which can be handled by the APP or official website of the public security department in some regions. Finger pointing, data uploading, waiting for the new certificate to come to the door, how refreshing!
