You must obtain the certificate in person and verify the information to prevent errors from causing inconvenience to the user. If you do not go to the certificate office in person, the certificate may not be released temporarily.

You need to verify the ID card after receiving it in the mail. For the "Resident Identity Card", the applicant's fingerprints should be pressed on site, the fingerprint information should be registered, and the consistency of the identity card should be verified.

The reason why fingerprint verification is required when receiving an ID card is as follows: Except for the public security organs, it is difficult for other social ID-using departments to identify the authenticity of the ID card based on photos at work. After registering the fingerprint information on the second-generation certificate this time, the social certificate department can use the machine to achieve authentication and identify the identity of the holder in a few seconds.

Validity period

It is divided into 4 types: 5 years, 10 years, 20 years and long term. Citizens under 16 years old who voluntarily apply for an ID card will have an ID card valid for 5 years; citizens aged 16 to 25 years old, the ID card will be valid for 10 years; citizens aged 26 to 45 years old, the ID card will be valid for 20 years; those over 46 years old For citizens, the ID card is valid for a long time.

There are also legal provisions that the first-generation ID card will continue to be valid within the validity period. Since 2013, second-generation ID cards have been mainly used, and there are still many citizens across the country who have not yet renewed their ID cards. The newly revised "Resident Identity Card Law" also stipulates that the registration items for resident ID cards include voluntary registration of fingerprint information. Starting from 2013, voluntary registration of fingerprint information for ID cards will be piloted in some large and medium-sized cities across the country.
