Legal basis: Article 11 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Resident Identity Cards stipulates that if the state decides to issue a new generation of resident identity cards, the validity period of the resident identity cards expires, the citizens' names change, or the documents are seriously damaged and unrecognizable, citizens should replace them. If there are errors in the registration items of citizen's identity card, the public security organ shall correct them in time, and must return the original card when issuing a new one. If a resident identity card is lost, it shall apply for a replacement.
