Can I get the articles of association with a copy of my ID card?

You can't. You can't use a copy of your ID card to pull the articles of association. You need to print the articles of association at the filing window of your district administrative examination and approval bureau. Printing the articles of association requires the original and photocopy of the business license, the letter of introduction from the company, and the original and photocopy of the ID card of the manager. The window staff will also ask you the purpose of printing the articles of association, so just tell him truthfully. Some areas will let you print on the self-service machine after you provide information.
