Can I close my account after death?

Cancellation of household registration will cause invalid population information accumulation in the population information database of public security organs, affect the accuracy of population data, and then affect the macro-decision of the government, which is not conducive to social management.

Generally, there are three cases of account cancellation: 1, emigration and separation from China nationality. Generally, the cancellation of this household registration will also result in the cancellation of the ID card, and he is no longer a citizen of China. 2. death. This person is no longer alive, and his household registration and identity card are cancelled at the same time. 3. Household registration migration. Cancel the account in the original household registration, and then go to the new household registration. In this case, this person will become a black household (for a short time). After the death of a citizen, if his/her family does not cancel the formalities in registered permanent residence in time, it will affect the normal handling of some affairs such as insurance payment, inheritance and bank withdrawal.
