Hong Kong residents born in 1992, 1993, 1994 or 1995 should apply for a new smart identity card at a smart identity card replacement centre from July 25 to October 6, the Immigration Department announced today.

The identity card replacement exercise covers all Hong Kong residents, be they permanent residents or non-permanent residents who are permitted to take up employment, make investments, reside or study in Hong Kong.

Bookings can be made online, on the department’s mobile app or by calling the 24-hour hotline at 2121 1234.

Applicants may take up to two people with disabilities to replace their identity cards together.

Call 2824 6111 for enquiries.
