Govt sets up HK Cross-boundary Public Services self-service kiosk, "iAM Smart" self-registration kiosk in Foshan

To advance the development of a digital government, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) collaborates with Guangdong Province to promote the Cross-boundary Public Services initiative. The Digital Policy Office (DPO) announced today (October 29) the setting up of a Hong Kong Cross-boundary Public Services self-service kiosk in Foshan. It will help residents and enterprises in Mainland cities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) access public services of Hong Kong without the need to travel to Hong Kong in person.

Starting today, the public can use the Hong Kong Cross-boundary Public Services self-service kiosk located on the first floor of the Foshan Nanhai District Administrative Service Center to access various public services of Hong Kong. The kiosk is available for use during the opening hours of the Center (i.e. 8: 30 a.m. to noon and 2 p.m. to 5: 30 p.m., Monday to Friday except public holidays on the Mainland). For details, please visit the Hong Kong Cross-boundary Public Services thematic website.

Following the Hong Kong Cross-boundary Public Services self-service kiosks that commenced operation earlier in Guangzhou, Qianhai and Futian in Shenzhen as well as Zhuhai, the Cross-boundary Public Services self-service kiosk currently provides a total of 70 public services from 11 government bureaux and departments as well as related organizations, encompassing areas commonly used by enterprises and the public including taxation, company registration, property and vehicle inquiry and registration, application for personal identification documents and entry of talent, welfare and education, healthcare, immigration clearance, urgent assistance as well as culture and tourism.

Members of the public can use the self-service kiosk to perform data entry, document scanning and result printing to enjoy one-stop access when applying for various public services.

An "iAM Smart" self-registration kiosk is also set up at the location mentioned above to enable Hong Kong residents working and living on the Mainland to register for or upgrade to, "iAM Smart+" directly to enjoy online public services that support "iAM Smart+" such as renewal of a vehicle license, application for an International Driving Permit and registration for eHealth.
