Is it safe for WeChat to send ID cards to others?

It is not safe for WeChat to send ID cards to others.

The information on the ID card can be used to steal personal property, or to conduct false transactions, causing losses to individuals. In addition, if the sent ID card information is maliciously shared, it may also lead to personal privacy disclosure. Being authenticated by someone else's real name is also the reason why you sometimes find that you have your own information without registering this thing. Therefore, it is not safe for WeChat to send ID cards to others. This should be avoided.

Choose carefully who to send it to, and only send it to people you trust, such as institutions, government officials or trusted relatives and friends. Once the identity information needs to be sent, and the other party has confirmed the receipt, the mail, message or file should be deleted immediately, and the file stored in the local device should be deleted to reduce the risk of information leakage.

Methods to ensure the security of identity cards

The identity card is a document used to prove the identity of the holder, and the public must use it with caution. You must make an endorsement when using a copy of your ID card. The specific method of endorsement is: write something special on the copy of ID card, and the content should be as detailed as possible. Don't hide your ID number and name. The endorsement text must be signed within the scope of the ID card, but it should not cover important information such as ID number and name.

In addition, no matter how to apply for credit cards, funds, mobile phones, etc., as long as you attach a copy of your ID card or fill in a form with similar effects as your ID card, you will be treated accordingly. If you lose your ID card, you should go to the public security organ for replacement in time. When necessary, a loss statement can be published in the media.

In order to facilitate migrant workers, some cities have ways to apply for identity cards in different places. If you lose your ID card while traveling in other places, you need to obtain the consent of the ID card office where your account is located, and negotiate to reissue your ID card.
