Registration is free of charge during that period. A fee is charged if the birth is registered after 42 days. Registration later than 12 months after birth requires the registrar's consent. There are four district birth registries providing birth registration service.
Deaths from natural causes should be registered by relatives within 24 hours. Hong Kong has three death registries providing free registration. Deaths may also be registered at one of the 15 designated police stations in the New Territories and outlying islands.
