The Hong Kong Health Code system will be open for registration from 9am tomorrow for members of the public to register a real-name account. The latest LeaveHomeSafe mobile app version 3.0 will also be available for update.

Upon successful registration on the Hong Kong Health Code website, users can upload their visit records in the past 31 days to the Hong Kong Health Code system through the LeaveHomeSafe mobile app version 3.0 and then login to the system to receive a Hong Kong Health Code.

The Hong Kong Health Code adopts real-name registration. Applicants are required to register personal information such as name, identity document number and date of issue, contact telephone number, residential address and upload a Hong Kong residential address proof for verification.

Applicants who are residing in Housing Authority Public Rental Housing do not need to submit the residential address proof, as the system will verify the information according to the public housing resident database.

The Government will accord priority to applications from applicants who can upload the Hong Kong residential address proof, as well as those who are residing in the Housing Authority Public Rental Housing. The system will send a personal identification number (PIN) to applicants for account activation through SMS once their residential address has been verified.

If applicants are unable to provide a Hong Kong residential address proof, or the system cannot verify their residential address, they will have to wait for a confirmation letter containing a PIN issued by the Government for account activation.

Applicants who are not Hong Kong identity card holders will have to bring the letter and their identity document for identity verification at designated post offices. They will receive a PIN through SMS for account activation after verification.

The Hong Kong Health Code facilitates quarantine-free travel between Guangdong, Macau and Hong Kong. The Government has opened the Hong Kong Health Code system in advance for registration to allow members of the public to familiarise themselves with its functions earlier.

The Government reaffirmed that the sequence of registering for the Hong Kong Health Code has nothing to do with the quotas for boundary crossings and there is no hurry to apply for it.
