How do normal people cancel their accounts?

1. If a citizen dies normally, he/she shall cancel his/her account at the local police station with the deceased's medical certificate of death, cremation certificate, residence booklet and identity card.

2. Citizens who go abroad to settle and cancel their accounts must go to the local police station to cancel their accounts with the notice of cancellation issued by the foreign affairs department of the public security, the household registration book and my resident ID card.

3. Citizens who want to settle in China need to hold their passport or the approval certificate of the Provincial Public Security Department, the notice of settlement of the Municipal Bureau, and the cancellation certificate of the original account, and go through the formalities of restoring the account.

4. When citizens join the army, they need to go to the local police station for cancellation of registration with the notice of enlistment, household registration book and the resident ID card of the enlisted person.

Do I need to close my account?

I don't have to attend in person. For example, if the deceased cancels his account, of course I can't be there. Therefore, the account cancellation can entrust an agent, and the power of attorney should be written and notarized. Generally speaking, there are the following situations for cancellation:

(1) If a citizen dies, provide the deceased's household registration book, resident ID card, death medical certificate or other legal death certificate materials (such as death appraisal certificate issued by forensic doctor or death certificate issued by neighborhood committee or village committee, etc.). ) and the original and photocopy of the applicant's resident identity card. If a citizen's whereabouts have been unknown for more than four years, the interested party shall apply to the court for declaration of death.

(2) Joining the army: provide the original and photocopy of the household registration book, resident ID card and citizen's enlistment notice (the original and photocopy of the admission notice for applying for military academies).

(3) Outside the country (territory) where you have settled abroad: provide the household registration book, resident identity card, notice of cancellation of household registration issued by the entry-exit administration department, the original and photocopy of the passport and valid visa of the People's Republic of China (or relevant settlement procedures).

What materials do I need to close my account?

1. Fill in the application for account cancellation (specify the process of obtaining foreign settlement right or foreign nationality and the reasons for applying for account cancellation).

2. The original and photocopy of the household registration book and resident ID card. (If you don't have a household registration book, please go to the local police station to issue the Household Registration Certificate; If you don't have a resident ID card, please publish a "lost statement" in a newspaper above the municipal level. )

3. Original and photocopy of foreign residence certificate or foreign passport.

4. Original and photocopy of other relevant naturalization certificates (such as naturalization certificate and immigration registration certificate, etc.). ).

5. Original and photocopy of China passport used abroad.
