    I actually missed my date my almost a year. They say they will fine you, but I got away with it. Perhaps getting it done when COVID was around helped.

    How about you rephrase the question. How is one supposed to know that you are required to exchange your ID or not during any given year?

    Yeah nah @Sage is right. I was born in 1977 and I have no idea when I am suppose to exchange my HKID for a new one. Do I just have to keep remembering to check HK govt website every 6-12 months and wait for 1977 to appear on this list sometime in the next 5 years or so?

    I vaguely remember seeing posters in MTR stations about updating my ID card. I guess there are also adverts on the domestic TV channels, but I don't watch them anymore. If it wasn't for this thread, I would not have known I had missed my deadline, and I would not have gone to replace it.
