Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, August 17 (Xinhua) according to CCTV news, the Ministry of Public Security recently formulated and issued key measures to serve economic and social development to stabilize the economic market in 2022, including promoting the "inter-provincial administration" of applying for resident identity cards for the first time.

Starting from August 1, 2022, nine provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Delta, Fujian and Jiangxi, and Sichuan, Chongqing and Guizhou have comprehensively opened the "inter-provincial communication" for applying for resident identity cards for the first time in the region.

Starting from October 1, 2022, the pilot work will be gradually launched in other provinces and cities across the country, and by the end of the year, people who apply for identity cards for the first time in the pilot areas do not need to return to their place of residence, but can be handled nearby their current place of residence.

In March this year, the Chinese premier said that a policy to be implemented this year is to digitize people's commonly used ID cards, that is, you can scan the code on relevant matters with your mobile phone and it will be done. Of course, we should also provide convenience for those who do not use smartphones, especially the elderly, and protect the information security and privacy of citizens.
