RESIDENTS over 16 years old with the Shenzhen hukou, or household registration status, can use an online service for ID card replacement, the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau said. Residents only need to submit required information via the administration service section on the WeChat account “深圳公安” (ID: szga-110), for the service. New ID cards will be then delivered to the applicants after their applications are approved by the authority and the new cards are made. Citizens should have held second-generation ID cards in Shenzhen before and have recorded their fingerprint information on the authority’s system to be qualified to use the online service. Except under certain circumstances, citizens can also apply via the WeChat account to entrust others to handle matters related to household registration. (Wang Jingli) |
