Forms

Attention: If you are a registered elector and consent to transfer your personal particulars to the Registration and Electoral Office (REO) for the purpose of verifying the relevant particulars in the electoral register, this Department will only transfer your relevant personal particulars to the REO after you have completed the Hong Kong identity card application/replacement process at Registration of Persons Offices or completed notification of change of particulars previously registered/change of address. If any alteration of the particulars in the electoral register is required, the REO would separately inform you the relevant procedures. Unless you have separately submitted all the required specified form and the relevant documentary proof to the REO, your registration particulars in the electoral register will not be changed due to this Hong Kong identity card application/replacement or notification.

The statutory deadline to apply for change of particulars for the electoral register falls on 2 June every year. As it takes time for the REO to conduct the verification process and to notify the persons concerned on the procedures for change of registration particulars after receiving the personal particulars from this Department, the REO recommends that even if electors have given consent to the Immigration Department to transfer their personal particulars to the REO for verifying the relevant particulars in the electoral register, electors should separately submit to the REO direct the specified form for the applications for change of particulars with the required documentary proof by 2 June every year, for updating their voter registration particulars. For details on change of registration particulars, please visit the REO’s website (vr.gov.hk) or call their hotline (2891 1001).
