  1. provide their Hong Kong identity card number;

  3. provide their e-contact means registered with the TD (email address or Hong Kong mobile phone number). The TD has been issuing letters to some 800,000 vehicle owners in Hong Kong from February 17 to 24, informing them of their e-contact means currently registered with the TD.

The TD urges taxi owners and drivers who plan to use the dedicated service counters to make an appointment on the HKeToll website, hketoll.gov.hk, or the mobile application in advance to avoid waiting.
