Article 9 of the People's Republic of China (PRC) National Identity Card Law stipulates: "Hong Kong compatriots, Macao compatriots and Taiwan Province compatriots who have moved to the mainland to settle down, overseas Chinese who have returned to China to settle down, foreigners and stateless persons who have settled in People's Republic of China (PRC), and who have been approved to join or restore People's Republic of China (PRC) nationality, shall apply for resident identity cards when registering their permanent residence."

Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents' residence permits adopt the resident ID card technology, which is different from the mainland residence permits. Holders can directly stay in hotels in the Mainland with their residence permits and handle banking, insurance, securities, futures and other financial services by domestic flights, trains and other means of transportation. At the same time, you can also apply for motor vehicle registration, apply for motor vehicle driver's license, sign up for vocational qualification examination, apply for granting professional qualifications, and register maternity services at your place of residence. These policies and measures will provide real convenience for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents living in Hong Kong.

Bao Suixian, deputy director of the Public Security Administration of the Ministry of Public Security, revealed at the press conference that compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan can apply for identity cards in the Mainland, but they must move to the Mainland and apply for permanent residence in the Mainland. In response to this matter, Joseph Wu, chairman of the Taiwan Province Provincial Mainland Affairs Council, threatened that once Taiwanese businessmen chose to apply for mainland identity cards, they would lose their status as residents of Taiwan Province Province and all the rights they enjoyed in Taiwan Province Province in accordance with the Regulations on People's Relations across the Taiwan Strait, such as insurance, election and recall, and they would be able to apply as mainlanders in the future.
