A spokeswoman for Immigration clarified this as the second phase of replacing the HK ID card of people born in 1985 and 1986, kicked off. The replacement exercise started on Dec. 27 last year.
Everyone will be invited to go to any of the nine newly
established Smart Identity Card Replacement Centres, or SIDCCs, in phases
according to their birth year, to have their HKICs replaced within specified
periods, the spokeswoman said.
She said the SIDCCs are open Mondays to Saturdays, 8am to
10pm, except on public holidays.
She reminded migrants, particularly domestic helpers, of the
following:
1. Holders of existing smart HKIDs born in 1985 or 1986 should apply for a new smart identity card in person at SIDCC by Mar 30;
1. Holders of existing smart HKIDs born in 1985 or 1986 should apply for a new smart identity card in person at SIDCC by Mar 30;
2. They may book appointments via the Internet (www.gov.hk/newicbooking), the
Immigration mobile application or the 24-hour telephone booking hotline 2121
1234;
3. They should pre-fill the application form when booking
appointments online or through the mobile application for faster registration,
and
4. They should bring their existing smart HKIDs and travel documents (or passports) bearing the working visa when
they go to the SIDCCs.
For this exercise, the department is implementing a new “caring
arrangement” under which eligible applicants may bring along up
to two family members or friends aged 65 or above to replace their smart IDs
together during the same visit.
The department said it will announce the arrangements for other age groups in due course. It said if eligible residents are absent fromHong
Kong during their call-up period, they can apply within 30 days of
their return to the city.
