Will there be any notice when the ID card is mailed out?

Legal analysis: there will be no notice. There will be no SMS notification when the ID card is reissued by post. Only when citizens get their ID cards at the police station will they be notified by SMS. Generally, the courier will contact me by phone after delivering the mail.

Legal basis: Law of the People's Republic of China on Resident Identity Cards

Article 7 A citizen shall, within three months from the date of reaching the age of 16, apply to the public security organ where his permanent residence is located for a resident identity card. Citizens under the age of 16 shall apply for resident identity cards by guardians.
