| Planning to join eHRSS yet unable to visit an
Electronic Health Record (eHR) Registration
Centre or the eHR Registration Office in
person? No worries. If you are aged 16 or
above, you can authorise a representative to
submit your eHRSS registration form in person
or activate your eHR for applications
submitted online, by fax, postal mail or
drop-in box. To authorise a representative,
simply fill in the required information of the
authorised person when completing the
application form. |
| |
| When representing you to submit the eHRSS registration form or activate your eHR, the authorised person needs to bring a copy of your identity document and his/ her own identity document for identity authentication. Upon completion of your registration/ record activation, you will receive a notification via your selected communications means (SMS/ postal mail/ email). |

| Patient can authorise a representative to submit the eHRSS registration form in person or activate his/her eHR |
| |
| Activation Made Easy |
| |
| For patients who have submitted their eHRSS applications by not-in-person methods (i.e. online, fax, postal mail or drop-in-box), they need to activate their records before their eHRs can be shared at eHRSS. |
| |
| When you visit an eHRSS participating clinic with your identity document for record activation, what if your personal information recorded in the system differs from your identity document? With new enhancement measures in place, registration staff of the clinic can now update your particulars directly by inserting your HKIC into the card reader or inputting the relevant particulars manually. Once this is completed, your eHR will be successfully activated. |
