What will be the consequences of not canceling the account?

Canceling household registration will cause the accumulation of invalid population information in the population information database of the public security organs, affecting the accuracy of demographic data, which will in turn affect the government's macro-decision-making and is not conducive to social management.

There are generally three situations for account cancellation: 1. Immigration and departure from Chinese nationality. This kind of account cancellation will generally also cancel the ID card and no longer be a Chinese citizen. 2. Death. This person no longer lives in the world, and his household registration and ID card have also been cancelled. 3. Household registration transfer. Cancel your household registration in the original place of household registration, and then register in the new place of household registration. In this case, this person will become a blackmailer (for a short period of time). After a citizen dies, if his or her family members do not handle the household registration cancellation procedures in time, it will affect the normal handling of matters such as insurance payment, inheritance, and bank withdrawals.
