UNCLAIMED ID CARDS

More than 400 lost identity cards are now lying at the Registration

of Persons Office waiting to be reclaimed.

The Registration of Persons Department stressed today that these

could easily have been returned if the owners had notified the office of

changes in their registered particulars.

A list of cards, with names and numbers, are now being displayed

at City District Offices. Lists with only card numbers are also available

for inspection at Kai Fong Associations.

Owners may collect their lost cards in person at the head office

of the department on the 4th floor of the Causeway Bay Magistracy.

Identity cards unclaimed after a period of over three months will

be cancelled.
