Old Chinese ID cards to expire

 

 

 

Sounds like there are a few of the old-style Chinese ID's which still haven't reached their expiration date, but which are being phased out as of Jan. 1

 

The ministry said it will ensure convenience for those who have not updated their cards and wish to do so, such as people who live overseas.

On Oct. 29, 2011, China adopted an amendment to its Resident Identity Card Law to prohibit the use of the first-generation cards after Jan. 1, 2013.

 

The second-generation card was introduced in 2004.
