THE NEED TO REGISTER FOR IDENTITY CARDS
****
THE COMMISSIONER OF REGISTRATION, MR. JOHN MITCHELL, TODAY REMINDED THE PUBLIC OF THE NEED TO REGISTER FOR IDENTITY CARDS.
HE SAID THAT PARENTS AND GUARDIANS SHOULD REGISTER THEIR CHILDREN AT THE AGE OF ELEVEN FOR JUVENILE IDENTITY CARDS AND YOUNG PEOPLE REACHING THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN MUST REGISTER FOR ADULT IDENTITY CARDS.
MR. MITCHELL ALSO CALLED ON ADULTS WHO WERE NOT IN POSSESSION OF AN IDENTITY CARD TO COME FORWARD AND REGISTER THEMSELVES.
NEW ARRIVALS WHO INTEND TO STAY IN HONG KONG FOR MORE THAN 90 DAYS ARE ALSO REMINDED OF THEIR OBLIGATION TO REGISTER FOR AN IDENTITY CARD WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THEIR ARRIVAL.
+POSSESSION OF A TRAVEL DOCUMENT, INCLUDING A BRITISH PASSPORT, DOES NOT ABSOLVE A PERSON FROM REGISTERING,+ MR. MITCHELL SAID.
FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS OF THE REGISTRATION
OF PERSONS ORDINANCE IS AN OFFENCE, HE STRESSED,
