The ID card is the proof of every citizen's identity, and the photos on the ID card are the truest embodiment of everyone's appearance. You can't wear makeup when taking photos with your ID card, and the photos can't be PS. Once the facial features and the data of the police population system have changed greatly, identity verification is needed, and plastic surgery certificate is the most common way of identity verification.

However, for some reason, citizens with thin or fat faces do not need to issue a "cosmetic certificate" when applying for a new ID card. However, citizens with facial injuries or even disfigurement must be certified by the hospital or relevant units.

Facial plastic surgery

It is best to apply for a new ID card in time.

A related person from the Public Security Corps of the Municipal Public Security Bureau said that in daily life, some citizens who have undergone plastic surgery often get into trouble. For example, because their appearance has changed greatly, they may be refused entry by border guards when entering or leaving the country.

The police said that in order to avoid trouble when traveling abroad or handling businesses that need to verify identity information, citizens who have changed their appearance are advised to apply for new identity cards as soon as possible.

If it is difficult for residents who have plastic surgery abroad or elsewhere to obtain plastic surgery certificates, the police will ask the residents concerned to provide social security cards, driver's licenses and other documents. These supporting photos must be taken before the appearance changes. If it can be verified that it is consistent with the population information, the certificate can be processed normally.

If it is impossible to prove that the person concerned is the same person as the person in the public security population database through auxiliary documents, the police will contact the police station in the jurisdiction and ask the relevant police to help verify the information.
