The Law specifically stipulates that citizen identification cards issued before the effective date of the Law are valid until the expiration date printed on the card. Citizens will be given an ID card when they need it.

Legal documents issued using information from identity cards and citizen identification cards shall retain their validity; State agencies are not allowed to request citizens to change or adjust information on identity cards or citizen identification cards in issued documents.

Changes in information in citizen identification cards create convenience and high security for users. Those who are using previous ID cards and identification cards can still make transactions before switching to this new card type.
