In China, when do business with a company, if disputes arise requiring litigation, China attorneys can obtain relevant corporate information from the China government. However, when entering contracts or conducting transactions with individuals—including lending money to individuals—you must obtain their ID number and registered residential address. Essentially, you need a copy of their ID card. Without this identification copy, China courts will refuse to accept lawsuits against individuals. The fundamental prerequisite for court acceptance is knowing the individual’s ID number. If you seek their ID copy after a dispute arises, the difficulty increases exponentially. Many cases are abandoned because the defendant cannot be located. Lack of ID information will impede further legal action. While you could try inquiring at the police station, they generally won’t provide it. Even applying to the court for an inquiry is often denied. Thus, you maybe end up in a very awkward situation. Attorney Lyu reminds everyone once again: when do business with individuals or lending money to individuals in China, you must retain a copy of their ID card(or passport). I am Attorney Lyu from Xuzhou China. If you have any legal questions about China law, feel free to contact me.
