Those who do not authenticate their identity via the abovementioned means may upload a copy of their Hong Kong identity card as notified to complete the registration procedure after inputting their personal information. They only need to provide the related number of the stored value facility for collecting the vouchers and make declaration regarding the "residing in Hong Kong" requirement to complete the registration. Upon authentication of the registrants' identity, the registrants will not need to fill in their personal data again. Alternatively, they may also authenticate their identity through the "iAM Smart" App. Members of the public who choose to register electronically will be required to authenticate their identity. If they have successfully registered for the Cash Payout Scheme announced last year and received payment before today, they may choose to answer security questions related to the Cash Payout Scheme as authentication means. The Scheme will also help local small-and-medium merchants explore potential business opportunities by adopting electronic payments."

Persons who submit paper forms or have completed electronic registration on or after July 18 will receive the first voucher on September 1 after their eligibility is confirmed. The Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan, said, "Members of the public may register electronically by visiting the Scheme's website, which is the fastest way to receive the vouchers. In general, registrants who have completed electronic registration by July 17 will receive the first voucher on August 1 after their eligibility is confirmed. The registration period will last for six weeks until August 14, 2021. Those who choose to register using paper form may put the forms into the designated drop boxes from July 5 (Monday) during office hours.
