Extension of e-Appointment service to applications for registration of Enduring Power of Attorney in High Court Registry
******************************************************************************************
The Judiciary today (June 26) announced that the e-Appointment service will be extended to applications for registration of Enduring Power of Attorney (EPoA) in the High Court Registry from next Friday (July 3), for the booking of appointments from July 6.
Starting from July 6, 2026, anyone who wishes to apply for registration of an EPoA at the High Court Registry is required to make an online appointment in advance via the e-Appointment System at www.judiciary.hk/en/court_services_facilities/hcr_index.html. For details, please refer to the Guidance Notes on the system's webpage. Walk-in applications without an appointment will no longer be accepted. Walk-in applicants will need to book an appointment for another day via the system, unless there are remaining timeslots in the afternoon of the same day.
Registered users of "iAM Smart" may use the auto form-filling function of "iAM Smart" to provide relevant personal data for making appointments.
The e-Appointment service aims at saving court users' time and enhancing the operational efficiency of court registries and offices. It has already been made available for a wide range of services, including those at the Appeals Registry of the Clerk of Court's Office of the High Court, the Apostille Service Office of the High Court Registry, the High Court Registry, the Probate Registry, the District Court Registry, the Family Court Registry, the Lands Tribunal Registry, the Labour Tribunal Registry and the Integrated Mediation Office.
