Can I travel if my ID card expires?

Legal analysis: An expired ID card is useless and invalid. It cannot be reused, and it is not allowed for travel. An expired ID card is an invalid document, but it cannot be used for travel. Cause too much impact. If you are taking a domestic flight, you can first go to the airport or the public security bureau to apply for a temporary ID card. If you are taking an international flight, you don't need an ID card, just a passport.

Purchasing train tickets, bus tickets, travel tickets, etc. can be used normally even if the ID card expires. Expired ID cards will not affect accommodation issues.

If you are really worried about problems, you can apply for a temporary ID card first.

Legal basis: Article 8 of the "Resident Identity Card Law of the People's Republic of China", resident identity cards are issued by the public security agency of the county-level people's government where the resident's permanent residence is located.
