What is Chinese Id Card Number or Resident Identity Card?

The identity card contains basic information regarding the individual, such as the following:

Obverse side

• Full name – in Chinese characters only. Non-Chinese ethnic names and foreign names are transliterated into Chinese. First-generation ID cards contained handwritten names for rare Chinese characters, whilst the second-generation cards exclusively used computer-printed text in a larger font compared to that of the first generation, and do not support rarer characters.
• Gender – containing one character for either male (男) or female (女).
• Ethnicity – as officially listed by the People's Republic of China.
• Date of birth – listed in the Gregorian calendar format, in YYYY年MM月DD日 Big-endian (ISO 8601) order.
• Domicile – the individual's permanent residence as dictated by the Identity Card Bill of the People's Republic of China.
• Identification number
• Photo of the individual

Reverse side

• Issuing authority - (first-generation cards utilised a stamp; second-generation cards display text only)
• The limits to validity of the document - (for individuals under 16 years of age: five years; for individuals between 16 and 25 years of age: ten years; for individuals between 26 and 45 years of age: twenty years; for individuals over 46 years of age: long-term)
