If the disability certificate expires and the certificate is renewed, do you want to re-identify or not? Speak clearly at once!

Many disabled friends are particularly worried when they renew their certificates. They are afraid of trouble and fear of having to go for another appraisal. Today, I will use the most straightforward words to explain the latest policy to everyone, so that everyone can have peace of mind and avoid unnecessary mistakes.

According to the regulations currently implemented nationwide, the disability certificate is valid for ten years. After expiration, you can apply for a new certificate. Not everyone needs to be re-identified. As long as your disability has not changed significantly, your previous file materials are complete and standardized, and your certificate is due for renewal normally, you generally do not need to go to the hospital for re-evaluation.

There are only a few situations where re-appraisal is really needed. For example, Before 2018, old certificates that were processed by visual inspection must be re-evaluated according to the current standards when they are due for renewal. If the Disabled Persons' Federation finds during the review that your current situation is obviously different from the information originally registered, which may affect the disability level, it will also require re-identification. Another situation is that you actively want to change the disability category or level, which also needs to be confirmed through re-evaluation.

In addition, if the certificate is dirty, damaged, the information needs to be updated, or it has expired normally and the situation has not changed, there is no need to re-identify. Nowadays, the renewal of the expired disability certificate can be done across provinces. You can bring your ID card, old disability certificate, and recent photos to the local Disabled Persons' Federation window to apply. Once approved, you can renew the certificate. The process is very convenient.

I would like to remind everyone that the disability certificate is related to many vital rights and interests such as subsidies, welfare, medical treatment, travel, etc., so it must be applied for in time before it expires. Before applying, you can call and ask the local Disabled Persons' Federation to confirm which situation you belong to, and bring the materials to complete the process at once.

Key points:

Core points quickly Note: No change in situation+Complete files = direct replacement of certificates, no appraisal required; Old certificates before 2018/change of status/active change of grade=need to be re-evaluated.

List of application materials: Original ID card + old disability certificate + recent 1-inch ID photo without hat (the specific number is subject to local requirements).

Convenient welfare: National inter-provincial universal service has been implemented. You can apply to the Disabled Persons' Federation at the place of household registration or habitual residence, without having to travel back and forth.

Important reminder: Be sure to apply in time before the validity of the certificate expires to avoid affecting the rights and interests such as subsidy receipt and medical assistance; if you are not sure about your situation, please call the local Disabled Persons' Federation directly and the staff will answer one-on-one questions~
