The "National Identification Card" ({{lang-zh|t=國民身分證}}) is issued to all nationals of the [[Taiwan|Republic of China (Official name of Taiwan)]] aged 14 and older who have [[hukou system|household registration]] in the [[Free Area of the Republic of China|Taiwan area]]. The Identification Card is used for virtually all activities that require identity verification within Taiwan such as opening bank accounts, renting apartments, [[application for employment|employment applications]] and voting.

The Identification Card contains the holder's photo, [[National identification number#Taiwan|ID number]], [[Chinese language|Chinese name]], and ([[Minguo calendar]]) date of birth. The back of the card also contains the person's registered address where official correspondence is sent, place of birth, and the name of legal ascendants and spouse (if any).

If residents move, they must re-register at a municipal office ({{lang-zh|t=戶政事務所}}).

ROC nationals with household registration in Taiwan are known as "registered nationals". ROC nationals who do not have household registration in Taiwan (known as "unregistered nationals") do not qualify for the Identification Card and its associated privileges (e.g., the right to vote and the right of abode in Taiwan), but qualify for the [[Republic of China passport]], which unlike the Identification Card, is not indicative of residency rights in Taiwan. If such "unregistered nationals" are residents of Taiwan, they will hold a [[Resident Certificate (Republic of China)|Taiwan Area Resident Certificate]] as an identity document, which is nearly identical to the Alien Resident Certificate issued to foreign nationals/citizens residing in Taiwan.
