No, because the fingerprint ID card application is now implemented. When applying for an ID card, citizens need to bring their household registration book to apply for it in person and enter their fingerprint information, so they cannot reissue it on their behalf.
"Resident Identity Card Law of the People's Republic of China"
Article 3 The items registered in the resident identity card include: name, gender, ethnicity, date of birth, permanent residence location Address, citizen identification number, personal photo, fingerprint information, validity period of the certificate and the issuing authority.

Citizens who apply to receive, renew or replace their resident identity cards must register their fingerprint information.
Extended information:
In 2013, Yang Huanning, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Public Security, introduced that fingerprint information items were added to the registration content of resident ID cards, and pointed out that citizens who apply to receive, renew, or When re-issuing a resident ID card, fingerprint information should be registered. The fingerprint information registered in the resident ID card is a digital fingerprint feature point and cannot be restored to a fingerprint image. It can effectively protect the security of citizens’ fingerprint information without worrying about the leakage of fingerprint information.
The special chip used in the second-generation ID card has reserved a fingerprint information storage area when the design is finalized. Adding fingerprint information does not require changing the document style and chip. It is the same in appearance as the original second-generation ID card. There is no difference. At the same time, it is reported that the fingerprint information registered on the ID card is only for citizens who apply for the resident ID card for the first time, or renew or replace the ID card. Second-generation ID cards that are still valid can be used normally.
