Can lawyers investigate personal information?

Legal analysis: China's information inquiry system is semi-open to lawyers. Many things can't be done before the case is filed. After filing a case, you can inquire about some information with the letter of introduction from the corresponding law firm, the power of attorney of the parties and the filing documents. For example, personal identity information, enterprise registration information, industrial and commercial internal files, and vehicle information can all be checked. However, for some bank information, real estate information in the name of ward round or bank running water, a court investigation order is needed.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
