微信自拍证件照？想得美

Digitally altered, self-portrait photos from a new service by WeChat and China Telecom will no longer be accepted as a form of government identification by police in southern China. A service called Xingfu on the WeChat messaging app, which is linked to a digital photo center operated by China Telecom, lets users upload and modify a self-portrait photo now commonly known as the "selfie." The service, designed by Guangzhou-based Xingfu Network Technology Co., uploads the photos to China Telecom&`&s photo center which then sends the photos to local police bureaus that process official documents. The service is offered for 12 kinds of official documents ranging from residency permits to passports. Only two days after its launch on March 25, the Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan police departments moved to ban the use of digital photos transferred by the Xingfu service. Xingfu has announced it will suspend the service until it can upgrade the service in accordance with police rules and guarantee the physical resemblance of an individual&`&s identity. According to one Xingfu employee, the service can still be used on certain official documents.
