Hong Kong residents born in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 or 2000 and holding the old form of smart identity card should bring along their identity cards and apply for new smart identity cards, the Immigration Department announced today.
They can do this in person at a Smart Identity Card
Replacement Centre (SIDCC) from October 7 (Friday) to December 10 (Saturday).
The SIDCCs are open from 8am to 10pm and from Monday to Saturday (except public
holidays).

The Territory-wide Identity Card Replacement Exercise covers all Hong Kong residents, whether they are permanent residents or non-permanent residents who are permitted to take up employment, make investment, reside or study in Hong Kong.
To avoid the gathering of crowds, Immigration appeals to
applicants to make appointments via its mobile application, the Internet
(www.gov.hk/newicbooking), or the 24-hour telephone booking hotline 2121 1234.

cards together during the same visit to an SIDCC.

The Replacement Exercise will end in early 2023 and those
who have not yet applied for a new smart identity card should do so as soon as
possible. Eligible Hong Kong residents who cannot have their identity cards
replaced during the specified call-up periods due to their absence from Hong
Kong can apply within 30 days upon their return to Hong Kong.
