Many people have duplicate household registration or are caused by long-term decentralized management.

  Yangcheng Evening News reporter Li Guohui

  When an account that accompanies you to school, work, get married, buy a house, and have children is required to be cancelled, all the information is zero. You will face a problem that you have never thought of — — Prove that you are the original you, the father or mother of a child, a graduate with a diploma, or even that you will lose your hukou in a big city and be unable to re-enter the house or buy a house.

  With the nationwide three-year clean-up and rectification of household registration by the Ministry of Public Security entering the third stage, more and more duplicate (false) household registrations have surfaced or been cancelled. Among them, there are a large number of people who illegally handle false or multiple household registrations for illegal purposes, and there are also people who have repeated household registrations because of their parents’ job migration, going to school, buying houses and entering households, and the irregular operation of grassroots police stations many years ago. And they are generally faced with this problem.

  Faced with the "high cost" of canceling duplicate (false) household registration, some people with duplicate household registration want to convey their own voices: under the premise of being able to investigate and prove that they are not malicious and have no criminal record, can the public security organs be more humanized in cancellation measures and allow them to keep their commonly used household registration with high social recognition — — Please leave me more real.

  Status quo: It is not uncommon for people with duplicate household registration.

  Carrying a backpack and one hand in his trouser pocket, 31-year-old Tang Shidan (using a pseudonym at the request of the interviewee) stood on the street in Guangzhou where he had lived for 12 years and made a phone call in a low voice. Tang Shidan, who was admitted to CUHK with excellent results and worked in IT software in foreign banks after graduation, has already moved his registered permanent residence to Guangzhou, and has always regarded himself as a native of Guangzhou, but he felt for the first time — — The "household registration" thing will also be "gained and lost".

  On the other end of the phone, his parents said to him, "You’d better come back and ask the people at the police station to try!"

  After the phone call, he told the Yangcheng Evening News reporter with a wry smile: "I’d better go back and try again whether I can cancel Wuhua’s household registration and keep it in Guangzhou."

  In fact, Tang Shidan said that he had given up hope, and nine times out of ten, his Guangzhou hukou would be cancelled.

  On January 15 this year, Tang Shidan received a phone call from the police of Tianhe District Public Security Bureau in Guangzhou. He was told that after portrait comparison, he was found to be a duplicate household registration and had to cancel a "false" household registration.

  The police told him that according to the Opinions on Properly Handling Duplicate (False) Accounts issued by the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau in October 2014, his Guangzhou household registration was identified as duplicate (false) and only the original household registration of Wuhua in Meizhou could be kept.

  Tang Shidan said that he had consulted the comrades in charge of the police and the household registration office of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department, but the answers were all the same — — You must cancel your current account in Guangzhou.

  "They decided that my account in Guangzhou was a false account. I always thought this was the real me, but this I am about to disappear. "

  On the two second-generation ID cards that Tang Shidan showed to the Yangcheng Evening News reporter, his name was the same, but his ID number was completely different.

  In Shenzhen, 26-year-old Chen Maqiao (who uses an alias at the request of the interviewee) also can’t believe that as a lawyer, she "can’t even handle her own account".

  Last March, Chen Maqiao received a phone call from the police of Shahe Police Station of Nanshan District Branch of shenzhen public. She was told that through portrait comparison, it was verified that she had duplicate household registration, among which the household registration was commonly used — — That is, the household registration in Shenzhen is a false household registration and must be cancelled.

  Chen Maqiao believes that his common household registration is not a false household registration. "I don’t agree to cancel my household registration in Shenzhen. Shahe police station suggested that I cancel my unused household registration registered in Shantou after birth, but the local police station is unwilling to cancel it." Chen Maqiao’s two household registrations are not only completely different in ID numbers, but also different in the last word of his name.

  In order to keep his household registration from Puning to Shenzhen after he went to college, Chen Maqiao went to the Chengbei police station in Puning City to issue his own household registration certificate, proof of no criminal record, etc., and even found the approval form for rural to non-household when he entered Puning.

  However, these certificates may not be able to keep her common household registration that has been used for more than 20 years.

  In August 2015, the Shahe police station in Shenzhen informed her again and asked her to cancel her common household registration in Shenzhen. After Chen Maqiao once again said that he "refused to cancel his common household registration", the Shahe police station said that it had frozen two of his household registrations. If she fails to cancel the household registration moved from Puning to Shenzhen within the specified time, the public security organ will force her to cancel it.

  It is not uncommon for people with duplicate (false) household registration like Tang Shidan and Chen Maqiao.

  Guan Qing (pseudonym), who has worked hard in Shenzhen for many years, has two accounts: Shenzhen (moved from Hainan) and Shantou. Now, his household registration in Shenzhen has been forcibly cancelled by shenzhen public, but he is still unwilling to accept this reality.

  In the QQ group search, the Yangcheng Evening News reporter entered the words "duplicate household registration" and found more than 10 QQ groups with "duplicate household registration problems".

  In two QQ groups, which are mainly registered in Guangdong, almost every day, people report to the group that "the police station informed me that if I don’t take the initiative to cancel my common household registration, I will be forced to cancel it". In this crowd, there are not only lawyers and software engineers, but also civil servants, doctors, teachers and other professional groups.

  Traceability: or caused by long-term decentralized management

  In fact, as early as February 2014, the Ministry of Public Security began a three-year "special clean-up and rectification of household registration" throughout the country, and the rectification work was divided into three stages.

  According to the work deployment of the Ministry of Public Security, in 2014, it was mainly to "crack down and rectify", comprehensively investigate and deal with the problem of false hukou, and prevent the creation of new false hukou; 2015 is the second stage, focusing on "grasping construction and norms" and comprehensively strengthening the construction of institutional norms and technical norms. This year is the third stage of the special rectification of household registration, with the focus on "improving and checking". The new household registration mechanism will be fully operational, and the accuracy, uniqueness and authority of the national citizen’s household registration and identity card numbers will be realized.

  With the increasing efforts of local public security organs, every citizen of every household is required to apply for a second-generation ID card, and the duplicate (fake) household registration has nothing to hide under the high-tech portrait recognition technology.

  According to Huang Ming, vice minister of the Ministry of Public Security, in an interview with the media last year, in just over a year from 2014 to March 2015, 2.5 million duplicate accounts and accounts that should be sold but not sold were cleared nationwide.

  In order to do a good job in cleaning up and rectifying household registration, the Ministry of Public Security requires public security organs and household administration departments all over the country to conduct a comprehensive self-examination and self-correction, and those who conceal it will be severely investigated for the responsibility of the police and leaders involved.

  The Ministry of public security also requires that all public security organs that handle fake accounts and fake identity cards must resolutely remove the public security team; Anyone who accepts benefits to handle fake accounts or fake identity cards for others must be severely punished by law.

  So, how did the fake (duplicate) account come from?

  In an interview with the media, Huang Ming revealed that the reasons for the "wrong, heavy and false" problem of household registration management are complicated, including historical reasons caused by long-term manual operation and decentralized management, social factors influenced by human society and privileged thoughts, and illegal behaviors caused by interests and internal and external collusion.

  In the view of Tang Shidan and others, in recent years, many people have taken advantage of the loopholes in the system, engaged in illegal and criminal acts by handling dual or even multiple household registrations, or bought real estate for concealment, which indirectly created many uncles and sisters-in-law in society.

  "Many people think that people with duplicate household registration must have problems, and they must have come through improper channels. This is a kind of discrimination." Tang Shidan said.

  As for why he has two registered permanent residence and two ID cards with different numbers, Tang Shidan’s explanation is that when he was 14 years old and went to junior high school, he came to Heyuan Longchuan from his hometown of Wuhua, Meizhou. Because his parents didn’t know much about the procedures for household registration transfer, he directly went to the local police station to apply for a new household registration, which directly accompanied Tang Shidan from middle school to university and moved to Guangzhou until now.

  "At that time, perhaps the operating procedures of the grassroots police station were not standardized, and there was no migration certificate from registered permanent residence." Tang Shidan told the Yangcheng Evening News reporter.

  Chen Maqiao was born in Puning, Jieyang, and his parents went to Shantou for business, that is, in his birthplace — — Shantou entered a household registration. Later, her parents took her back to Puning, and under the policy of buying a house, she also registered in Puning. In this way, Chen Maqiao has been using Puning’s account, from primary school to college and admitted to Shenzhen, and moved the account from Puning to Shenzhen.

  Chen Maqiao believes that at that time, his common household registration in Puning, Jieyang was legally obtained, and there was no illegality.

  "At that time, Puning absorbed a large number of foreign people by buying houses, and we didn’t do black-box operations. At that time, at least tens of thousands of people entered Puning in this way. " Chen Maqiao told the Yangcheng Evening News reporter.

  Embarrassment: the signed contract may be "invalid"

  Nowadays, the deadline for the police to notify "voluntarily cancel the household registration" has arrived, and Tang Shidan’s common household registration may be forcibly cancelled at any time. He had to think about what he would do if he cancelled it.

  According to the Opinions on Properly Handling Duplicate (False) Accounts issued by Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau in October 2014, if the account is cancelled, the public security organ shall issue a Certificate of Account Cancellation to the parties and file it for future reference; If the parties have other affairs to deal with, the public security organ shall issue the "Household Registration Certificate" according to the application of the parties, so as to provide convenience for the parties to handle personal affairs.

  However, when Tang Shidan called the Household Affairs Office of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau to find out, the staff also told him bluntly that there was no guarantee that all his documents and files could be changed, and he was required to be mentally prepared.

  Tang Shidan said that his hukou from Wuhua only stayed in primary school, which means that if he can’t change his school status and other related information, his cultural level is primary school education. This is "unacceptable" for a graduate like him.

  "According to the information I have learned now, the information such as student status cannot be changed, and it is impossible for the university to issue a diploma and academic certificate for you. If I look for a job again, I must prove that the original me is me."

  Not only that, Tang Shidan is worried that signed commercial contracts and purchased commercial insurance will face "invalidation" because of the change of ID number. How can these contracts and insurance documents make enterprises and institutions willing to re-sign or change them?

  For those who have cancel their registered permanent residence, that information of their parent can’t be changed on their children’s birth certificates, and now they have to prove that "their children are their own". You must even re-register your marriage with your wife (husband).

  Tang Shidan said that what is clear now is that information such as social security and provident fund can be changed in time.

  Chen Maqiao and Guan Qing will also face a more serious problem in their opinion. After their common accounts are forcibly cancelled, according to the policy, they can relocate their original accounts to Shenzhen, but they must meet the conditions — — Either you have your own property in Shenzhen, or you have been buying social security in Shenzhen for five consecutive years. Neither Chen Maqiao nor Guan Qing can meet this condition now, and they can’t regain their Shenzhen household registration in a short time, which will greatly affect their lives.

  Transfer:

  More humane measures have been taken in other provinces.

  "It can be said that from primary school to university, to work graduation, and to obtain the qualification of lawyer practice, I have used my current household registration and ID card, and I have never used the household registration in Shantou."

  Chen Maqiao said that the policy of the public security department to deal with duplicate household registration is to "cancel the false and keep the true". "But in their concept, the household registration we later did was false, and I don’t want to accept such a determination." Chen Maqiao said.

  In the Opinions of Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department on Properly Handling Duplicate (False) Accounts, for the identification of duplicate (false) accounts, one is that "those who hold two or more accounts are duplicate accounts"; The second is that "the account obtained by providing false materials or fabricating facts by fiction is a false account". The public security organ will carry out detailed investigation and verification according to the clues of duplicate (false) accounts, and make a decision on handling duplicate (false) accounts according to the verification results.

  In principle, it is that "the real accounts investigated and verified by the public security organs should be kept", "the false accounts investigated and verified by the public security organs should be cancelled", "the repeated accounts that have not been cancelled after migration should be cancelled" and "the accounts that have been relocated twice or more should be kept for the first time, and the accounts that have been relocated later should be cancelled".

  This means that if the real reasons for the formation of duplicate (false) accounts in that year cannot be included in the scope of investigation and judgment, and whether the two accounts are more in line with the real situation of the individual is not considered, the common accounts that Chen Maqiao, Tang Shidan and others later handled do belong to the duplicate (false) accounts in this opinion.

  However, Tang Shidan believes that this is the place where the handling of their household registration is "not humanized enough". "When I became two accounts, I was only 14 years old, and I had no capacity for civil conduct at all. Moreover, I have never used Wuhua’s original account since then, and I have never had a record of illegal crimes. I think this later account is more in line with my own real situation, and I hope to keep this real me! "

  In the interview of Yangcheng Evening News reporter for many days, many heavy (fake) households expressed their feelings to reporters. They believe that the public security department is not "humanized" when identifying and canceling one of their accounts. It has not fully considered the multiple historical reasons why they became heavy (fake) households, nor has it considered which identity they have higher social recognition. They even think that the repeated accounts caused by the non-normal account migration are false accounts and must be cancelled, which also makes them feel wronged.

  Both Tang Shidan and Chen Maqiao, when consulting the police who handled the cancellation of their household registration, were told that if the police station where their original household registration is located can issue a certificate that "the household registration is a false household registration", they can help keep the current common household registration.

  To this end, Tang Shidan, Chen Maqiao and Guan Qing all tried, but they were all rejected by the local police station.

  "Because if they issue this certificate, according to the regulations, they must bear the responsibility of causing duplicate (false) accounts." Chen Maqiao said that this is almost impossible for them.

  "I went back to ask the police station, and they said that it should be done in strict accordance with the regulations of the province. They thought that my original account in Wuhua was a real account, and it was impossible to cancel this and keep it later." Tang Shidan said.

  On March 28th, the reporter of Yangcheng Evening News dialed the telephone number of the Household Administration Department of the Public Security Bureau of Guangdong Province, which was announced by the official website of the Ministry of Public Security. The wiring staff told the reporter that under normal circumstances, after investigation, the public security organ determined that the first registered permanent residence was a real registered permanent residence, and the registered permanent residence that was later formed after "improper" procedures was identified as a false registered permanent residence.

  When the reporter said that the formation of duplicate (false) accounts was likely to be caused by the irregular operation or irregularities of the police at that time, the public security organs had certain responsibilities. The staff member said that such an account was obtained by "improper means". At present, many police officers who violated the rules have been dealt with, even downgraded and sentenced.

  He also reiterated to reporters the definition and understanding of duplicate (false) hukou. "If you move from one city to another, the original place has not cancelled the original hukou because of the work problems of the public security police, then this is a typical duplicate hukou. But if two accounts are in different places, with different ID numbers or even different names, this is a false account. "

  According to the Opinions of Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department on Properly Handling Duplicate (False) Accounts, the parties with duplicate (false) accounts still have legal remedies. If the parties are not satisfied with the handling opinions of the public security organs on canceling their accounts, they can apply for administrative reconsideration to the public security organs at higher levels or the people’s government at the same level that made the decision on canceling their accounts within 60 days from the date of receiving the Certificate of Cancellation of Accounts, or bring an administrative lawsuit to the people’s court at the same level within three months according to law.

  "If they really cancel my Shenzhen account, I will fight an administrative lawsuit with them!" Chen Maqiao told reporters that she learned that there are quite a few people who have the idea of saving their common household registration through litigation.

  The Yangcheng Evening News reporter inquired that in the "Regulations on the Management of Public Security Organs’ Accounts in Fujian Province" published on the Internet on October 31, 2014, there have been more detailed and humanized measures for duplicate (false) accounts.

  According to the specification, for "duplicate accounts that have lived for a long time and can’t find the original information, and the reasons can’t be verified, on the basis of careful investigation, on the premise that the parties promise not to apply for correcting the date and name of birth, they can apply according to the wishes of the masses, keep one of them, and cancel the accounts that have not found any illegal acts".

  On March 29th, the reporter of Yangcheng Evening News sent a letter to the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security about the repeated (false) household registration cleaning and rectification work. As of press time, no reply has been received, and the reporter of Yangcheng Evening News will continue to pay attention to the follow-up progress.
