Front of ID Card
Please provide a complete, clear photo or scan of the front, ensuring that information such as name, date of birth, address, and citizen identity number is legible.
Back of ID Card
Please provide the back side as well, so that information such as the issuing authority and expiration date can be translated. No need to mail the original Chinese ID.
English Name
If a fixed English name is already used in a passport, USCIS documents, U.S. identity documents, or other formal English documents, it is recommended to provide it for verification.

Final Review
Cross-check
The translation will still faithfully reflect the original Chinese name on the ID card. If there is a significant discrepancy in name spelling in formal English documents, we will contact you for confirmation before the document is finalized.
Address Translation
How is the Chinese address on a Chinese ID card translated?
The address on a Chinese Resident Identity Card usually includes multiple layers of information such as province, city, district/county, street, community, village/town, and house number. During translation, we strive to maintain the original address structure and information completeness without arbitrarily simplifying the original content.
Preserve Administrative Divisions
Information such as province, city, district, county, township, and street will be processed completely according to the original text.
Preserve House Numbers and Digits
Building numbers, unit numbers, room numbers, village groups, and street numbers will be prioritized for verification.
Refer to Existing English Addresses
If the same address has already been used in USCIS, banking, or other formal English documents, you can provide it for consistency verification.
Identity Number
Does the Chinese ID number need "translation"?
The citizen identity number is an identification number itself and does not undergo "English conversion." The translated document will record the number accurately as it appears on the original ID card, with a focus on checking that the digits and letters are complete.
The focus for the ID number is not "how to translate it," but ensuring it is not copied incorrectly.
For numerical fields such as the ID number, date of birth, and expiration date, Kaopu Notary will perform a final cross-check before delivery.
Document Details
What content is prioritized for verification in a Chinese ID translation?
The front and back of the Resident Identity Card contain different information, so both sides should be provided for complete processing.
Name, Gender, and Ethnicity Translated according to the original document content with name spelling verified.
Date of Birth Prioritized check of the year, month, and day digits.
Address Striving to completely preserve administrative divisions, streets, house numbers, and other address information.
Citizen Identity Number Digit-by-digit verification of the complete number, including any possible letters.
Issuing Authority and Expiration Date Translated and verified based on the actual information on the back of the ID card.
Older & Special Documents
How are old, expired, or blurry ID cards handled?
Old ID Cards
China has used different formats of Resident Identity Cards over the years. Kaopu Notary will process the document according to the content provided by the customer.
Expired ID Cards
Can be translated based on the original document content. Translation does not change the validity status of the ID card itself.
Glare, Blur, or Cropping
If key information cannot be reliably identified, we may ask you to reshoot the image. We will not guess information that cannot be confirmed.
Expired ID cards can be translated, but whether they are accepted by the receiving institution is a separate matter.
Document translation only reflects the content of the original document and does not change whether the original document is currently valid.
