"Identity cards in ethnic minority areas" section[edit]

Currently only Zhuang is given; this is only temporary. I intend on creating a table that includes equivalents in Chinese, Zhuang, Tibetan, Mongol, and Uyghur, once I find translations for each of the details.

English	Chinese	Zhuang	Tibetan	Mongol	Uyghur
Name	姓名	SINGQMINGZ	E	R	T
Gender	性别	SINGQBIED	E	R	T
Ethnicity	民族	MINZCUZ	E	R	T

Do these cards support cryptographic operations?[edit]

Hello, do these (second generation smart card) cards support cryptographic signatures etc? What is known about the communication protocol?

For example fedict of the belgian eID has publicized source code to let developers create applications which can authenticate and or sign documents... is there something similar for these Chinese cards? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.49.109.143 (talk) 19:13, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removal[edit]

I removed the following unsourced and, as far as I know, incorrect info in Usage of identification section: "Citizens within the People's Republic of China must carry identification in public at all times, compulsory from the age of 16." --Chmarkine (talk) 06:39, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Exact dimensions?[edit]

Hi, anyone know the exact dimensions? Would be useful. I know the aspect ratio is close to 1:0.65. --Sigmundur (talk) 05:53, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added to the infobox. Myzhang1029 (talk) 14:59, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of claim[edit]

I will remove the claim "Strangely, the document's validity period is not recorded on the IC chip, therefore one can only tell the validity of the document by physically examining the dates printed on the back of the card." (original reference 倾听·转型中国：丢了身份证，安全咋保障), which is a misunderstanding of the cited source.

The original source suggests that "the data in the RFID chip is still available after the date of expiration," which is different from the claim that the validity period is not recorded at all.

Furthermore, the claim is incorrect based on one official documentation of the Resident Identity Card, GA/T 490, which states that the validity period is indeed a part of the electronic record. RFID readers, such as railway automatic fare gates, are also able to reject expired Resident Identity Cards. Myzhang1029 (talk) 14:31, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
