Explanation:

1. "Chinese immigrants were required to carry identification at all times" - During the era of Chinese immigration restriction, there were strict identification requirements for Chinese immigrants, so this is correct.
2. "When it was passed in 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act permanently barred immigrants from China" - The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first significant law restricting immigration based on nationality and did bar Chinese immigrants, so this is correct.
3. "Congress excluded Chinese women from entering the United States" - There was no such blanket exclusion of Chinese women; in fact, the exclusion was more focused on labor - related male immigration initially and later expanded, so this is incorrect.
4. "The Chinese population of California continued to grow exponentially between 1882 and 1930, despite efforts to restrict immigration" - The Chinese Exclusion Act and related restrictions led to a decrease or very slow growth of the Chinese population in California during this period, not exponential growth, so this is incorrect.
