Can I entrust a lawyer to inquire about household registration information?

Legal analysis: you can entrust a lawyer to inquire about household registration information. But there are certain work norms. Because personal information involves privacy, it must be well-founded, such as economic disputes, and you need to provide your ID number before you can go to the police station to inquire. Due to legitimate needs such as safeguarding rights, you can entrust a lawyer to inquire. If a lawyer investigates and collects evidence by himself, he may, with the lawyer's practice certificate and the certificate of the law firm, investigate the situation related to undertaking legal affairs with the relevant units or individuals.
