The
Immigration Department (ImmD) has announced that from
September 24 (Tuesday) to November 15, 2019 (Friday), Hong Kong residents born
in 1955 or 1956 should apply for a new smart identity card in person at a Smart
Identity Card Replacement Centre (SIDCC). The SIDCCs will be open from Mondays
to Saturdays, from 8am to 10pm (except public holidays).
The Territory-wide
Identity Card Replacement Exercise covers all Hong Kong residents, who should
apply for new smart identity cards in person at SIDCCs during their specified
periods, whether they are permanent residents or non-permanent residents taking
up employment, investment, residence or study in Hong Kong.
Eligible applicants may
make appointment bookings via the Internet (www.gov.hk/newicbooking), the
ImmD mobile application or the 24-hour telephone booking hotline 2121 1234. To
make an appointment booking via the Internet or to download the mobile
application, please scan the attached QR codes. The ImmD appeals to applicants
to pre-fill the application form when making appointment bookings through the
Internet or mobile application in order to enjoy faster service. Applicants
need to bring along their existing smart identity cards when they proceed to
the SIDCCs.
For this replacement
exercise, the ImmD 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 identity cards together during the same visit.
For Hong Kong residents
born in 1964 or 1965, their specified period for identity card replacement will
end on September 23, 2019 (Monday). Those who have not applied for the new
identity card should do so as early as possible in order to avoid a last-minute
rush. If eligible Hong Kong residents are absent from Hong Kong during their
call-up period, they can apply within 30 days of their return to Hong Kong.

Territory-wide Identity Card Replacement Exercise, please visit the
