In order to better safeguard citizens' legitimate rights and interests, protect citizens' personal information security and improve the level of public services, according to the Law of the People's Republic of China on Resident Identity Cards, the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Public Security Administration Punishment and other laws and regulations:

State organs or relevant units and their staff should conscientiously fulfill the obligation of verifying resident identity cards and strictly implement the responsibility of verifying the conformity between people and cards. Those who fail to perform their verification obligations according to law and cause damage to citizens' legitimate rights and interests or public interests shall be investigated for responsibility in accordance with relevant regulations.

In the course of performing their duties or providing services, the staff of state organs or relevant units shall check the resident identity cards on the spot and shall not record the personal information of citizens recorded in the resident identity cards without authorization.

Extended data:

Identity card numbers and names belong to the privacy of citizens and should be protected, but the disclosure of identity card numbers and names has no substantial harm to the identity card itself. When citizens use their ID cards to handle important affairs, they are generally required to be present and hold their ID cards. If they entrust others to handle it, they need to meet the legal requirements of the agency.

Registering the resident ID card with fingerprint information can effectively prevent others from using it fraudulently, which is conducive to protecting citizens' personal information security and building a social credit system. Citizens can take the initiative to apply to the public security organs for renewal of resident identity cards with fingerprint information.
