There is a special counter on the second floor. There will be one soon. You need to bring your ID card and 120 yuan (100 deposit, 20 work fee).
First go to the side to fill out the form, and then wait in line. There is a small camera at the scene to take pictures of you. Wait about 5 minutes, and the card will be ready.
