How can a lawyer see a prisoner in a lawsuit? Do I still need to bring my household registration book?

Lawyers need a household registration book to meet prisoners. If a relative entrusts a lawyer to meet a criminal suspect, it is necessary to provide the original or photocopy of the household registration book and ID card, or the proof of kinship, lawyer's practice book, law firm certificate, etc. The interview will be arranged by the detention center, and it will not exceed 48 hours. According to Article 39 of the Criminal Procedure Law, defense lawyers can meet and correspond with criminal suspects and defendants in custody. Other defenders, with the permission of the people's courts and people's procuratorates, may also meet and correspond with criminal suspects and defendants in custody. If a defense lawyer holds a lawyer's practice certificate, a law firm's certificate, a power of attorney or a letter of legal aid to ask for a meeting with the criminal suspect or defendant in custody, the detention center shall arrange the meeting in time, which shall not exceed 48 hours at the latest.
