Can a copy of the ID card be used for accommodation?

A copy of the ID card is not a valid ID document and generally cannot be used for hotel accommodation. It is recommended that citizens bring their household registration book as soon as possible to apply for a new ID card for later use.

Specific ID card application procedures:

1. The applicant should bring his or her household registration book to the public security agency where the permanent residence is located.

2. After verification by the staff, the portrait information is collected (some areas require photo information to be collected first and then taken to the household registration department to apply for an ID card. You need to consult the local household registration department).

3. Fill in the "Resident ID Card Application Leader Registration Form".

4. Verify that the information is correct and enter the citizen’s fingerprint information.

5. Pay the certificate replacement fee (specifically based on the local household registration document, the first-time or expired replacement fee is about 20 yuan, and the lost replacement fee is about 40 yuan).

6. The public security organs shall issue resident identity cards within 60 days from the date when citizens submit the "Resident Identity Card Application Leader Registration Form"; areas with inconvenient transportation. The processing time can be extended appropriately, but the extension time shall not exceed 30 days.
