PEOPLE ASKED TO COLLECT LOST I.D. CARDS
Unclaimed Cards Will Be Cancelled After 3 Months
The Commissioner of Registration today appealed to people who had lost their Hong Kong identity cards to come forward and collect them.
Lists containing the names of the unclaimed cards can be inspected at all City District Offices in the urban areas and District Offices in
the New Territories.
Owners of lost cards can collect them in person at the Registration of Persons Office on the 4th floor of the Causeway Bay Magistracy Building.
If they are not collected after a period of three months, the
identity cards will be cancelled.
The Commissioner emphasised that if people notified his office of the changes of previously registered particulars, it would be much easier for lost identity cards to be returned to their owners.
All unclaimed cards in the period from July 3 to September 30, 1972, will be cancelled on February 10, 1973.
