If Hong Kong people want to change their names, they must go through the formalities of changing their identity cards at the Registration of Persons Office of the Immigration Department. If the person who wants to change his name is under the age of 18, it must be proposed by his parents. However, in this process, the Immigration Department will require the applicant to submit a valid "deed of change of name".

The English legal name of the title deed is Deed Poll. It refers to a legal contract concluded by an individual and signed by a lawyer.

Then, you have to go to a law firm and have a "deed of change of name" witnessed by a lawyer, and then the applicant can change the name of the ID card with the "deed of change of name" at the Personnel Registration Office of the Immigration Department. The procedure is very simple. Just hand in your old ID card together with the "deed of name change" and fill out an application form. There are six Registration of Persons Offices in Hong Kong.
