On May 30th, 20 12, the revised Law on Resident Identity Cards clearly stipulated that the registration items of resident identity cards include fingerprint information. The Ministry of Public Security has formulated the tasks, objectives, working measures and implementation plan for completing the preparation of the registration of fingerprint information of resident ID cards before the end of 20 12. Local public security departments and bureaus have set up leading groups and offices and formulated preliminary work plans. 20 13 10 China will comprehensively start the registration of ID card fingerprint information and stop the first generation of ID cards.

Edit according to law

Disclosing personal information will face punishment.

In response to the question of how the floating population enters fingerprint information, Huang Shuangquan, deputy director of the Public Security Administration of the Ministry of Public Security, said that according to the regulations, resident ID cards need to be handled at the public security organs where the permanent residence is located, and both the floating population and the permanent population should be handled at the public security organs where the residence is located.

Huang Shuangquan said that there are more than 200 million floating population in China, so it is really difficult to enter fingerprint information centrally. Therefore, this time, the centralized fingerprint entry method was not adopted, and it will be gradually realized in the future. It is technically possible for floating population to apply for identity cards at their place of residence, and there are no technical obstacles. However, in order to avoid the possible information security problems caused by exchange through various channels, the floating population is still required to return to their original places.

The floating population will be fingerprinted and sent back to their places of origin.

The regulations add fingerprint information to the registration of resident identity cards, stipulating: "Citizens apply for receiving, renewing and replacing resident identity cards and voluntarily enter fingerprint information." This decision shall come into force as of 20 12+65438 10.

According to Huang Shuangquan, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the holder who has received the ID card cannot directly add fingerprint information during the validity period of the certificate. According to the revised law, when the ID card is redeemed or reissued in the above way, it still needs to be entered.

In addition, the revised resident identity card law has increased the punishment for revealing citizens' personal information. According to relevant regulations, the disclosure of citizens' personal information not only faces criminal punishment, but also bears civil liabilities such as economic compensation, providing multiple protections for citizens' personal information.

The law also stipulates that the first-generation ID card will remain valid within the validity period. Other resident identity cards previously obtained shall remain valid within the validity period.
