Date of First Issue for Biometric Passports Sources indicate that China began to issue biometric passports on 15 May 2012 (China 16 May 2012; Dalian Municipal Government 17 May 2012). The identity-document checking service operated by Keesing Reference Systems writes that a passport that "contains a contactless chip in the back cover" was first issued in February 2012 (n.d.a). According to the official web portal of the Chinese government, traditional passports may continue to be used for as long as they are valid (China 16 May 2012). People's Daily Online, a Chinese news website founded in 1997 (People's Daily Online n.d.), reports that electronic passports for public affairs were first issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 1 July 2011 (5 July 2011). These passports contain a "'component layer,' consisting of microchips, electronic circuits, and other parts" inside the back cover, which includes "the passport owner's name, sex and personal photo as well as the passport's term of validity and [the] digital certificate of the chip" (ibid.).

For cards referred to in the English language as "national identity card", see: National identity card (disambiguation). This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding reliable references. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.(January 2008) An identity document (also called a piece of identification or ID) is any document which may be used to verify aspects of a person's Personalidentity. If issued in the form of a small, mostly standard-sized card, it is usually called an identity card (IC). In some countries the possession of a government-produced identity card is compulsory while in others it may be voluntary. In countries which do not have formal identity documents, informal ones may in some circumstances be required. In the absence of a formal identity document, some countries accept driving licences as the most effective method of proof of identity. Most countries accept passports as a form of identification.
