HK ID - replacement time and cost?

Does anyone know off hand how long it takes to get a replacement HK ID card, and also how much it costs?


Thanks for the help.

Some years ago was $390 I think its about the same now. They will issue u a piece of paper for temporary use and the ID card can b done in three weeks.

Thanks - any ideas what i need to submit to them in terms of application or documents? I tried to access the website, but unfortunately just keep getting error messages.


Thanks again.

from the website:

Q10:

What kind of documents should be produced for registration for an identity card by persons aged 18 or over?







A10:

New arrivals are required to produce valid travel document / passport / entry permit / One-way Chinese Exit Permit / affidavits (as appropriate), so as to confirm the applicant's residential status in Hong Kong.


Hong Kong residents should produce his/her juvenile identity card or previous identity card.If the applicant has never registered for a juvenile identity card, he/she should produce his/her birth certificate and proof of identity such as valid travel document / passport / recent school documents with certified photograph (e.g. student handbook or school record card).


Applicants should bring the original documents for verification.


Q12:

What should I do if my identity card is lost, destroyed, damaged or defaced ?







A12:

Any person whose identity card is lost, destroyed, damaged or defaced should report to any Registration of Persons Office within 14 days and apply for a replacement in person. The damaged or defaced identity card should be surrendered to the registration officer upon the application for replacement of identity card. A fee of HK$335 will be charged for the replacement of an identity card.


For application for replacement of identity card for a juvenile under 18 years of age, the juvenile must be accompanied by his/her father/mother or a legal guardian. The accompanying father or mother should produce his/her identity card. In case the juvenile is accompanied by a legal guardian, the legal guardian should produce his/her identity card and documentary proof of the legal guardianship.


For application for replacement of identity card for a juvenile under 11 years of age, the applicant should produce the juvenile's proof of identity such as valid travel document / passport / recent school documents with certified photograph (e.g. student hand book or school record card) and one recent photograph (50 x 40 mm full face photo) (if the applicant is not taller than 90 cm).
