南京人的身份证上为啥没有省名？解答来了

A recent observation by netizens has brought to light an intriguing detail regarding the identity cards of Nanjing residents, which notably lack the mention of the province "Jiangsu" to which Nanjing belongs.

Similarly, individuals from provinces such as Shaanxi, Shandong, and Zhejiang have pointed out a similar absence of provincial names on the identity cards of residents from Xi'an, Jinan and Hangzhou. 

据了解，江苏除南京外的其他市，身份证住址一栏都标有“江苏省”字样，为什么单单南京人的身份证住址一栏没有“江苏省”字样呢？

Further scrutiny by netizens has revealed that in Jiangsu, excluding Nanjing, the identity cards of residents in other cities prominently feature the label "Jiangsu province" in the address section. This contrast raises the question: why do the identity cards of Nanjing residents omit "Jiangsu province" in their address?

根据公安部《办理公民户口和居民身份证件工作中住址项目填写规范》规定，在公民户口和居民身份证件住址项目中，填写基本格式为：××省（自治区、直辖市）××市（地区、州、盟）××区（县、市、旗）××乡（镇、街道）。对于省会城市或自治区首府，可不冠以省、自治区的名称。

The explanation lies in the regulations outlined by the Ministry of Public Security regarding the issuance of resident identity cards. When indicating the address, it is permissible to omit the province or autonomous region name for provincial capital cities or autonomous region capitals. 

5月23日，记者从南京市公安局了解到，身份证地址是以户口本上的地址为准。南京是省会城市，江苏省公安厅发布的《江苏省常住户口登记管理规定》（苏公规〔2016〕3号）规定“南京市可不冠以省的名称”。也就是说，南京人的身份证可以不冠以江苏省名，但是江苏其他市应冠以江苏省名。

从以上规定可以看出，南京是省会城市，身份证上可以不加省名。西安、济南、杭州等市的身份证上没有省名，也是这个原因。

As Nanjing serves as a provincial capital city, the omission of the provincial name on its residents' identity cards is in accordance with this rule. Similarly, the absence of provincial names on identity cards from cities like Xi'an, Jinan, and Hangzhou can be attributed to the same regulation.

Moreover, some netizens have shared instances where their identity cards display the address as "Feixi county, Anhui province" without mentioning "Hefei city".

The Ministry of Public Security's regulations on residents' identity cards provide clarity on this matter as well. For county-level cities under prefecture-level cities, the name of the prefecture-level city is excluded when filling in the address, and it is directly written as "... province (autonomous region) ... (county-level) city." 

Therefore, beyond provincial capital cities, county identity cards under prefecture-level cities like Xuzhou and Wuxi do not need to specify Xuzhou or Wuxi in their address.
