The Chinese word 身份证 (shēnfènzhèng) is composed of three characters: 身 (shēn), meaning "body" or "person"; 份 (fèn), meaning "share" or "portion"; and 证 (zhèng), meaning "certificate" or "evidence". Together, these characters form the term "identity card", which is an official document issued by a government agency to prove a person's identity. The word 身份证 is commonly used in China and other Chinese-speaking regions to refer to national identity cards, which are essential for various purposes such as travel, banking, and employment.
