Does a child need an ID card to enroll in kindergarten?

In most cases, children do not need an ID card to enroll in preschool or kindergarten.

Typically, parents or guardians provide basic information about their child when enrolling them in school, such as the child’s name, birthday, and residential address. This is usually sufficient for administrative purposes.

However, it may vary depending on the specific institution or region. Some schools might require additional documents or identification, especially if the child has special needs or requires accommodations. But generally speaking, an ID card is not necessary for preschool enrollment in China.
