Hong Kong is upgrading our ID cards to Smart cards. Since there are about 6.9Million cards to replace, they think it will take 4 years. My 'call time' is coming up end of this year which means an excuse to go there! I think it's about time I get a new ID to replace the photo that was taken when I was 15! And thank goodness the website provided the following information:

Q: How do you take a good photo for your smart ID card?

A: The following tips may help to take a good photo for your smart ID card:-
