Question: Is there any provision in the name change regulations for resident identity cards that stipulates that the name cannot be changed after the name is changed? (The staff only said that it cannot be handled, but there are no relevant regulations for reference)
Lawyer’s reply:

Among the rights of name, there is a right called the right of name change, which means that citizens have the right to change their names with no limit on the number of times. Therefore, you have the freedom to change your name and it is wrong for the office staff to say that you cannot change your name.

It is recommended that you directly change your name to the name you want in accordance with the "Household Registration Regulations of the People's Republic of China" and then apply for a second-generation ID card.
According to Articles 17 and 18 of the "Household Registration Regulations of the People's Republic of China", if you need to change your name, you should submit an application to the police station where your household registration is located, stating the sufficient reasons for the name change, and go to The household registration office of the police station where the household registration is located shall handle the application.
