The Ministry of Public Security will accelerate the advancement of identity card registration fingerprint information

Recently, the relevant person in charge of the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security stated that all acts of buying, selling, and fraudulently using other people's identity cards must be subject to legal prosecution. The public security agencies will continue to step up efforts to crack down on the illegal and criminal activities of buying, selling, and using other people's ID cards. They will also accelerate the registration of fingerprint information for resident ID cards that were started at the beginning of the year and adopt various measures to ensure the safety and reliability of the ID cards.

The identity card is an important legal identity document for citizens. Its main function is to prove the identity of a citizen when he engages in related activities. According to the unified deployment of the State Council, starting from 2004, the Ministry of Public Security organized public security agencies throughout the country to carry out the work of reissuing second-generation resident ID cards. The second-generation card adopts non-contact IC card technology and has two functions of visual reading and machine reading. The special chip adopts digital anti-counterfeiting measures and has strong anti-counterfeiting performance. After more than 10 years of hard work, the country has cumulatively issued more than 1.2 billion second-generation permits. At present, the second-generation certificates have been widely used in various fields of society.

The reporter learned that in recent years, in conjunction with the renewal of second-generation permits, the Ministry of Public Security has carried out a number of special clean-up and rectification operations on identity cards in the process of vigorously promoting the construction of informatization, which has solved the issue of the number of identity cards; The illegal and criminal activities of buying, selling, and fraudulently using other people's identity cards have carried out a number of focused crackdowns, promptly eliminating a group of illegal criminal gangs.

The newly revised "Law on Identity Cards" stipulates that citizens should register fingerprint information when they apply for, redeem, or replace their ID cards. The registration of fingerprint information by the resident ID card can further enhance the anti-counterfeiting performance of the document. At the same time, the social security unit can quickly and accurately confirm the conformity of the person and the certificate, and can effectively prevent the occurrence of illegal criminal acts such as the use of another person's ID card. At present, more than 16,000 police stations in the country have started the work of registering fingerprint information for resident ID cards and will be fully rolled out nationwide by the end of this year. If the masses have voluntarily replaced their ID card in advance, they can go to the local police station to redeem the ID card with registered fingerprint information.

The person in charge of the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security stated that when a citizen uses a resident identity card to prove his identity, the unit using the card bears the responsibility of verifying the identity of the person and the certificate. After confirmation, the relevant business can be handled for the certificate holder. If the certifying unit fails to perform the responsibilities of the person and the certificate to verify that the legitimate rights and interests of the citizen have been infringed, he shall bear the corresponding legal responsibility. The public security organs will further strengthen publicity and guidance and urge the relevant units using certificates to effectively implement the verification of identity cards. For the illegal and criminal activities of buying and selling other people's identity cards, public security agencies will find them together and investigate and deal with them in accordance with the law to protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens. At the same time, the Ministry of Public Security is promoting the establishment of a national reporting system for reporting loss of identity cards, effectively solving the problem of reporting loss of identity cards.
