The department encourages applicants of public search services to apply for BR documents via GovHK at www.gov.hk/en/business/registration/businesscompany/index.htm, which is available 24 hours a day.)
All visitors entering or remaining in the department's premises are required to wear masks and to comply with infection control measures, including the use of the "LeaveHomeSafe" mobile application, temperature checks and crowd control arrangements. Any visitor who fails to comply with the infection control measures will not be served and will be asked to leave the department's premises.
To reduce social contact, the department encourages the public to use electronic services to handle tax affairs as much as possible. A list of such services can be found in the department's webpage at www.ird.gov.hk/eng/ese/index.htm.
For enquiries, please call the department's hotline at 187 8088 during office hours.
