广州签发全国首张微信身份证出门不需要带身份证了！

　　The first WeChat ID card was issued during a ceremony held in Guangzhou, South China’s Guangdong province, on Monday, Yangcheng Evening News reported. The WeChat ID service will be trialed in Guangdong first, and is expected to be launched nationwide from January.

　　周一，据《羊城晚报》报道，在华南地区的广东广州举办的签发仪式上，现场签发首张微信身份证“网证”。微信身份证“网证”服务在广东试点试行，预计明年1月推向全国。

　　More than 10 government bodies and companies, including the Ministry of Public Security’s Research Institute, China Construction Bank and Tencent, have formed an alliance to build a secure and effective Internet Plus public service environment.

　　包括公安部研究所、中国建设银行和腾讯等十余家政府及企业单位发起联盟，建立安全高效的互联网+公共服务环境。

　　A WeChat ID card, regarded as the network certificate or electronic version of one’s ID card, is recognized by the Ministry of Public Security. It can be used where real-name authentication is required, such as hotel registration, ticketing, bank services, and delivery services.

　　微信身份证被看作是网络证件或是个人电子身份证，已获得公安部的许可。能被用于需要实名制的地方，例如酒店登记、购票、银行服务、交通运输服务。

　　There is no need to show physical ID cards when conducting commercial and industrial registrations as WeChat ID cards are sufficient, said a staff member working at Nansha district’s administrative service center in Guangzhou, Guangdong province.

　　一位广东省广州市南沙区行政服务中心的工作人员说，工商业登记管理时，也没必要出示实体身份证，微信身份证就足够了

　　There are two versions of WeChat ID cards: the "lightweight version" and the "upgraded version". The "lightweight version" can be used for unofficial work such as registering at internet cafes, and the "upgraded version" is designed for more formal occassions requiring secure authentication, including business registrations.

　　微信身份证有两种版本：“轻量版”和“升级版”。“轻量版”适用于非官方情况，如网咖实名制登记;“升级版”则用于需要严格认证的正式场合，如工商注册登记等。

　　People can use an applet on WeChat searching for the certificate to get a black and white "lightweight version" ID card, and also can use an approved app setting an 8-digital password to get a colored "upgraded version" ID card.

　　人们可以使用微信小程序申请认证，来获得黑白的低级别版本的身份卡，也可以使用官方APP设置一个8位数的密码来获得彩色的高级别版本的身份卡。

　　According to the police, using WeChat ID cards is not only convenient, but also secure and accurate. The "network certificate" information is connected to a person’s face, fingerprint, and physical ID card chip which makes it almost impossible to be counterfeited. Besides, there are specific measures dealing with card loss problem, including deleting the user’s certificate information as soon as the person logs in to the WeChat account on another phone.

　　据警方透露，使用微信身份证不仅方便，而且安全和准确。这种“网络认证”信息将人的面部信息、指纹与身份证芯片相连接，这使假冒身份证几乎不可能成真。另外，有专门应对身份证丢失的处理措施，包括丢失人只要在其他手机上登陆微信账号，用户身份信息自动删除(功能)。
