Smart ID card replacement centres to remain open until Mar 3

26 January 2023

By The SUN

All Smart ID Card Replacement Centres will not close on Mar 3

The Immigration Department announced today, Jan 26, that the last day for applying to get HKID cards replaced at  Smart Identity Card Replacement Centres (SIDCCs) has been extended from Feb 11 to Mar 3 this year.

This was due to the big number of residents who returned to Hong Kong recently to get their old HKID cards replaced, said Immigration in a statement.

From tomorrow, Jan 27, residents may make appointments for identity card replacement at Smart Identity Card Replacement Centres (SIDCCs) for Feb 11, 2023 onwards.

All SIDCCs will stop operating from Mar 4, 2023. Any eligible person who failed to apply for or collect a new smart ID before this date should do so at a Registration of Persons Office. Details and appointment arrangements will be announced in due course.

Hong Kong residents who are unable to have their ID cards replaced on or before Mar 3 due to their absence from the city may also apply for replacement at a Registration of Persons Office within 30 days of their return here.

Immigration said they need not rush back to Hong Kong to have their IDs replaced.

If they return here and stay for less than 30 days, they will not be held liable for violating the law that prescribes when they should have their identity cards replaced.

After the SIDCCs close, applications for replacement may be made at these offices

But all residents who are in Hong Kong when they reach the age of 11 or 18 should register for an identity card within 30 days of their attaining either age at a Registration of Persons Office. 

If they are absent from Hong Kong, they can apply to have their IDs replaced within 30 days of their return to the city.

Further, Immigration officers will continue to visit eligible residential care homes to provide on-site identity card replacement and delivery service of the new IDs to eligible residents despite the closure of the SIDCCs.

All applicants for ID card replacement may make appointments via the ImmD Mobile Application, the Internet (www.gov.hk/newicbooking), or the 24-hour telephone booking hotline 2121 1234.
