Identity card: It is a document used to prove the identity of the holder, which is mostly issued to citizens by governments of various countries or regions. Law enforcement process: The basic process of applying for a permit is as follows: A citizen should go through the application formalities at the public security organ where his permanent residence is located within three months from the date of reaching the age of 16, submit his household registration book and his photo, fill in the registration form for applying for a resident identity card, and pay the application fee. If a citizen under the age of 16 voluntarily applies for a resident identity card, his guardian shall apply for a resident identity card on his behalf.
