New Generation of Macao SAR Resident Smart Identity Card (BIR)
cathyl Lin Jiaxin2023-12-17T00:00:12+08:00Dear Colleagues,
A new generation of BIR will be made available by DSI from 15 December 2023 (see Annex for the sample). The replacement will be carried out in a natural way. Macao residents simply need to apply for the renewal of their BIR when it is due to expire in less than six months, and the BIR currently in use will remain valid until its expiry date. Holders with a BIR that has a validity date of “ – – – – – –” (i.e. permanent validity) do not need to replace their BIR.
To enhance the clarity and conciseness of BIR’s appearance, adjustments will be made to the information displayed on the card, information stored in the chip and the OCR lines. To give you a better understanding, the changes in the new BIR are summarised as follows:
- The “Date of First Issue”, “Height”, “Code for Place of Birth” and “Name in Chinese Commercial Code” will be removed from the front side of BIR. After adjustment, the card will display:
“ID Number”, “Date of Last Issue”, “Validity Date”, “Cardholder’s Name”, “Date of Birth”, “Sex Code”, “Photo”, “Type of Resident Identity Card”, “Signature” and “OCR lines”.
- The “Spouse’s name” will be added to the information stored in the chip. After adjustment, the information in the chip will contain:
“ID Number”, “Date of Last Issue”, “Validity Date”, “Cardholder’s Name”, “ Date of Birth”, “Sex Code”, “Photo”, “Type of Resident Identity Card”, “Date of First Issue”, “Code for Place of Birth”, “Parents’ Names”, “Height”, “Marital Status”, “Spouse’s Name”, the letter “T” (indicating that the cardholder is subject to the residence authorisation of the Macao SAR), “Fingerprint Code”, and other names that are not recorded in the visible information and were originally on the Macao SAR Resident Identity Card.
- “Date of First Issue” and “Code for Place of Birth” will be added to the OCR Lines. After adjustment, the OCR Lines will contain:
“Type of Resident Identity Card”, “Place of Issue”, “ID Number”, “Date of First Issue”, “Date of Last Issue”, “Place of Birth”, “Date of Birth”, “Sex”, “Name”, “Whether the Cardholder is a Permanent Resident” and “Verification Code”.
