  • If a subscriber logs in the IRIS Online Services with iAM Smart, the requirement for filling in his personal identification document number on the “Personal Information Collection Statement and Customer Confirmation Statement” page can be obviated. In addition, if the subscriber authorises his iAM Smart account to provide his name to the IRIS Online Services, his name will be pre-filled on the page by the system.Integrated Registration Information System (IRIS) Enhancements_Image 1

Performance Pledges 2022/23

Performance Pledges 2022/23

The performance pledges 2021/22 are maintained for 2022/23. You can explore here or obtain an information leaflet on performance pledges on the LR’s website.

In line with the Government’s measures to reduce the risk of spreading of COVID-19 in the community, the LR implemented special work arrangement from 25 January 2022 to 20 April 2022. Given that public services were provided on a limited scale under the special work arrangement, the performance of two types of services could not meet the targets pledged (i.e. registration of land documents and registration of withheld instruments redelivered for registration). We are making effort including overtime exercise to catch up with the performance targets since full resumption of service took place on 21 April 2022.

Title Registration

For implementing the Land Titles Ordinance (Cap. 585) (LTO) on newly granted land first (“new land first” proposal), we have been actively consulting the key stakeholders. Through the LTO Steering Committee, the agreement of the key stakeholders to proceed with legislative amendment proposals for implementing the “new land first” proposal was secured in December 2021. We are now preparing the legislative proposals for amending the LTO.

We are also working to reach consensus with the key stakeholders on the remaining implementation issues and plan to consult the Legislative Council Panel on Development on the “new land first” proposal in around the fourth quarter of 2022, with a view to proceeding with law drafting and submitting an amendment bill to the Legislative Council as early as possible.
