5. Key considerations when transitioning from the old ID card to the new citizen identity card.
- The information provided on the declaration form must match the details in the family household register. In cases where the information on the form is inconsistent with the details on the citizen identity card (parents with two names, individuals who have changed their names, etc.), it is necessary to bring a certified copy of the birth certificate or other legal documents for comparison.
- When transitioning from the old ID card to the new citizen identity card, the officer handling the application will return the old ID card to the citizen for use until the day the new citizen identity card is issued.
In cases where citizens submit their applications and request the return of the citizen identity card through postal services, the old ID card will be notched and returned to the citizen's address immediately upon receiving the application. The 9-digit and 12-digit old ID cards will be notched, recorded in the file, and returned to the citizen after collecting the new citizen identity card.
