2. Conduct portrait collection and fingerprint collection on site;

3. Pay the fee and get the fee receipt and the Certificate of Resident Identity Card;

4. You can get a new ID card within 60 days from the date of acceptance. In areas with inconvenient transportation, the processing time can be appropriately extended, but it can be collected within 90 days at the longest. Hand in the old card when you get the new card, and the old card will be invalid.

The steps to apply for an ID card are as follows:

1. The applicant brings his/her household registration book to the local police station to apply for a replacement of the second-generation resident identity card;
