OWNERS URGED TO CLAIM THEIR LOST ID CARDS
More than 600 unclaimed identity cards are now lying at the
Registration of Persons Office waiting for the owners to pick them up.
A spokesman for the office said today that unless the cards were
claimed within three months they would be cancelled and the owners would
have to re-apply for new ones.
He stressed that the cards could easily have been returned to
the owners if people notified his office of changes in their registered
particulars.
Lists containing the names and numbers of the lost cards can
be inspected at all City District Offices in the urban areas and at
District Offices in the New Territories.
Kaifong associations and rural committees also have lists with
identity card numbers for those who wish to check them.
Omers may collect their lost cards by calling in person at
the head office of the Registration of Persons Department on the fourth
floor of Causeway Bay Magistracy Building.
