Q: how do chinese change their address? change that book thing Hukou
that zhan haite question intrigues me .......... my wife tells me she can't change her address.............. to me this is ludicrous......... when I was in court a couple months ago, in Canada, the prosecution ( not prosecution, but the govt. lawyer), saw discrepancies in my wifes paperwork............. the notarized address thing we submitted had her old address on it, because I guess that is her "official" address...............hasn't been there for 15 years but she says she can't change it unless she buys a property......I never saw it before the lawyer brought it up, and now with this question on here...............Hukou thing... 1. parents house ( I assume) 2. married and change to her new home with her husband.
3. divorce ............. but cannot change her official/legal address it seems ........ is this correct? or can she but it would involve some effort?

China is really crazy for this.
We tried also register my wife and son to Shanghai Address, but same results. Have to buy house here, and than we can register, and than my son can go to a nearest school. But still to a foreigner school, not the state run ones.
What a f..ked rules. Back home, in CZ, i can move to any rented house, and if the owner allow me, i can register that place as my permanent add, than i simply go to police to change my ID, where is written this add, and i can attend any school or any hospital in any part of my country. not like here, if i am residing in the waigouqiao for example, my son can not get vaccine in any other hospital than the one which belong this area.

nessquick, I know that this is what they told you in Shanghai but there is a nuance here re your son :
many Chinese primary schools, if not most, are not authorized to receive foreigners, although some are. You need to put your ear-to-the-ground and find out which govenrment schools in your neighborhood might be or are authorized to receive foreign children. In some cases, many of the larger primary schools, around Nanjing Lu, for example, will have International Sections which foreign children can attend.
The houku rules are the direct opposite of the European Freedom of Movement rights. Chinese are free to move if they want to loose all rights to the benefits the society might offer.
