Information on the procedure for obtaining a new residence identification card (I.D.) in the case of loss [CHN9947]

A representative of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Ottawa refused to provide any information on the above-mentioned subject (3 Jan. 1992).
A lawyer in New York, trained in the People's Republic of China, states that the hukou (residence I.D. card) is issued by the police department of every region (23 Dec. 1991). In case of loss, people have to report the loss of their hukous to local police authorities in order to be issued new cards (Ibid.).
A representative of the Chinese Community Centre in Ottawa maintains that a person who has lost his/her residence I.D. card has to apply to the Public Security Bureau (police) for a replacement card (2 Jan. 1992).
Attached please find Response to Information Request No. CHN9220 on the hukou.
Additional and/or corroborating information on the subject is currently unavailable to the IRBDC.
