📝 Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Obtain a Cheque or Bank Draft
  1. Visit Your Bank: Go to a bank that provides cheque or bank draft services denominated in Hong Kong Dollars (HKD).
  2. Specify the Payee: Ensure the payee is strictly named as: The Government of the Hong Kong SAR (pay close attention to capitalization and spelling).
  3. Endorse the Back: Once you receive the cheque/bank draft, you must write your full Chinese and English name clearly on the back of the instrument for verification purposes.
Step 2: Complete the Return Slip
  • Access the official payment notification email sent by the DCHK and download/print the attached Return Slip.
  • Fill out your personal details and exam category completely as instructed in the email.
Step 3: Package and Submit
Combine the following two items:
  1. The original Cheque / Bank Draft (endorsed with your name on the back).
  2. The completed Return Slip.
Submission Options:
  • In-Person or Proxy Submission: If you are in Hong Kong or have someone representing you, you can deliver the package directly to the Secretariat address in Wong Chuk Hang for immediate peace of mind.
  • Express Courier Delivery: If sending via courier (e.g., SF Express, EMS, etc.), please select an overnight/express service and allow sufficient transit time to ensure delivery to the Secretariat before September 17.

⚠️ Essential Precautions

  1. Remittance Currency: Do NOT use RMB or USD for transfers or cheque issuances. The Secretariat only accepts Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) instruments.
  2. Bank Processing Times: Issuing a bank draft typically takes 1–2 business days. Candidates are strongly advised to visit the bank early to prevent last-minute delays in mailing.
  3. Record Keeping: Before sending your package, take clear photos of the front and back of the cheque/draft, the completed Return Slip, and the courier tracking receipt for future reference.
Completing your payment officially secures your seat in the examination! Please focus on your final preparation with confidence. We wish all candidates a smooth payment process and every success in the upcoming October examination!
