Will you go to jail if you find out that you have a double account?

At present, there are no clear penalties for dual accounts. Usually, the relevant departments will recommend canceling one of the accounts. Simply having a dual account will not be sentenced, but in some cases, according to the seriousness of the case, public security management punishment or criminal responsibility can be investigated.

Double hukou won't go to jail.

At present, the public security department has begun to comprehensively clean up the dual accounts. In order to prevent the staff from canceling the client's account, it is suggested that the client bring two household registration books and the original ID card to the local police station for cancellation. After the cancellation is completed, the public security organ shall issue a cancellation certificate. The parties may change their driving licenses and diplomas with the cancellation certificate.

Will dual accounts be punished?

There will be no punishment for double accounts, so it is recommended to cancel one of them, because the Ministry of Public Security has started a comprehensive clean-up of double accounts. In order to prevent the staff from canceling the account you want to keep, please cancel it at the police station where the account is located. Just bring two household registration books and the original ID card to the local police station. When canceling the household registration, the public security organ will issue a cancellation certificate. As long as you hold this card, you can change your driver's license, diploma and other related personal information.
