Hong Kong residents born in 1970, 1971 or 1972 should apply for a new smart identity card at a Smart Identity Card Replacement Centre from November 2 to April 30 next year, the Immigration Department announced today.

Bookings can be made online, on the department?s mobile application or by calling the 24-hour hotline at 2121 1234.

The card replacement centres are open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 10pm, except public holidays.

Applicants need to bring their existing smart identity cards when they go to the centres. They may take up to two disabled people and two family members or friends aged 65 or above to replace their identity cards together.

For citizens born in 1962 to 1963, their identity card replacement period will end on January 30, 2021.

The department said those who have not applied should do so as early as possible to avoid a last-minute rush.

Residents who are absent from Hong Kong during their call-up period can apply within 30 days of their return to the city.
