Welcome
into a new digital era, where IT has become an essential
fibre of our daily life. The Government of the Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region has been issuing
smart identity (ID) cards to replace the old ID cards.
This initiative aims to move Hong Kong to the forefront
of the hi-tech world. The smart ID card with a computer
chip is here!
The
Smart ID Card is here!
Since
23 June 2003, the HKSAR Government had started issuing
smart ID cards to the general public at the existing
Registration of Persons Offices of the Immigration Department.

Territory-wide
ID Card Replacement Exercise
The territory-wide ID card replacement exercise commenced
on 18 August 2003 and was completed on 31 March 2007.
With the completion of the replacement exercise, all
Smart Identity Card Centres had ceased to accept applications
for smart identity cards. Starting from 2 April 2007,
persons who have missed their specified call-up periods
and have not replaced their old identity cards should
make their applications at any of the Registration of
Persons Offices as soon as possible. For details, please
