ID card fraud to be blacklisted

Xinhua, August 10, 2016 Adjust font size:

Those who illegally use others' identity cards will be punished and blacklisted, according to a new regulation.

The regulation, aimed at strengthening the protection of citizens' private information, was issued on Wednesday by eight ministerial-level departments including the Ministry of Public Security, and went effect immediately.

According to the regulation, government functionaries must not copy, reproduce or retain ID cards without authorization.

Authorities should perfect a security management system protecting citizens' information. Personal information for official business should be kept confidential, the regulation said.

Government organs should blacklist those who deliberately infringe other individual's identities, and form a joint disciplinary scheme for offenders. Endi
