Here’s a reminder to foreign domestic helpers and other
residents born in 1962 or 1963 who are scheduled to replace their Hong Kong identity cards during the call-up period July
28-Sept 22.
Replacement of their HKID with the new smart identity cards has
been suspended by the Immigration Department tstarting July 20 to reduce the spread of the novel
coronavirus in the community.
The Department said in an advisory those who are unable to replace their HK ID cards during the
call-up period should wait for the resumption of services.
Those who have already made an appointment to replace their ID cards may proceed to the Smart Identity Card Replacement Centre nearest
their district when services resume.
This also applies to those born between 1957 to 1961 who were not able to meet their call-up time until July 27. They should go directly to the Replacement Centres to apply for replacing their HK IDs, in line wtih Immigration's flexibility arrangement due to the spread of the virus.
The territory-wide identity card replacement exercise covers
all Hong Kong residents, whether they are
permanent residents or non-permanent residents taking up employment,
investment, residence or study in Hong Kong. They include foreign domestic
helpers.
Before the Covid-19 crisis worsened in Hong
Kong in February-March this year, the SIDCCs were open from 8am to
10pm Monday to Saturday, except public holidays.
When services resume, eligible applicants may book their appointment
via the Internet (www.gov.hk/newicbooking), the Immigration Department mobile
application or the 24-hour telephone booking hotline 2121 1234.
