Identity card is a document used to prove the identity of the holder, which is mostly issued to citizens by governments of various countries or regions. Many people will encounter the problem of whether to bring their ID cards before traveling abroad, so do they need to bring their ID cards when going abroad?

In fact, China's ID card is a document that must be carried with you at home, but it is not so important to travel abroad. The most important thing to travel abroad is your passport, which is your ID card abroad. As a foreigner, you will be required to show your passport or visa when handling many things abroad, otherwise you will not be able to handle them. Therefore, passports and visas are very important and must be carefully kept.

You don't need an ID card to get on the plane, just bring your passport, which is your international ID card. The only function of traveling abroad with your ID card is to reissue your passport. If you lose your passport abroad, you can go to the embassy to reissue it. Therefore, you don't need to carry your ID card when traveling abroad, just keep your passport. Remember that your passport is a symbol of your identity abroad, which is equivalent to your ID card. No one will recognize your ID card abroad. If you lose it when you travel, it will only be more troublesome after you return home. Pay attention to keeping your passport abroad.

In the past, people who went abroad generally cancelled their accounts in China before going abroad, and then re-applied for a new account after returning home, but now no one is going to pursue it, and their ID cards can be properly kept by their families.
