REGISTERING FOR IDENTITY CARDS
The Commissioner of Registration today reminded parents and guardians
of their responsibility to register their children for juvenile type identity
cards on attaining the age of six.
He also reminded young people in possession of juvenile identity cards to register for their adult identity cards within a month of reaching 17. British and Foreign Passport holders are obliged under law to
register for identity cards if they intend to stay in Hong Kong for at
least four months.
The Commissioner also drew the attention of people who have moved
house, changed jobs, got married or returned from abroad recently that they
are required to notify him so that their records could be up-dated.
Specially designed forms for this purpose are available from post offices, City District Offices and District Offices in the New Territories. The forms can be sent post free although changes may also be reported by
letter, if so desired.
Members of the public, whenever in doubt about registration, should write, telephone or visit the Hong Kong Branch Office in Causeway Bay Magistracy, Electric Road, Tel. No. H-704696, the Kowloon Branch Office in Canton Road Government Offices, Yaumati, Tel. No. K-687354, the Tsuen Wan Branch Office in the Far East Bank Building, Castle Peak Road, Tel.
