You have a 30-day window to renew an expired ID card from the date of expiration. Beyond this period, late fines will be imposed.
Individuals can request the ID card renewal service through the ICP website, the ICP App available on Google Play, the App Store, and Huawei, or by visiting an accredited typing center.
A visit to one of ICP’s service centers may be required to provide your biometric information.
