In order to support the implementation of the Consumption Subsidy Scheme, the Identification Services Bureau (DSI) introduces measures to facilitate the registration for consumption subsidy of eligible newborn babies who do not hold the Macao Special Administrative Region Resident Identity Card (hereinafter called resident identity card) within the registration period.
From 31st March to 8th April 2020, citizens can conduct a preliminary assessment of the resident identity card application on behalf of their newborn children at DSI, without the presence of their newborn children, by presenting the birth report (so-called “white card”) issued by the Civil Affairs Registry under the Legal Affairs Bureau (DSAJ), their original resident identity card and a photocopy of the spouse’s identification document, and at the same time register for the consumption subsidy of their newborn children. After that, citizens can bring their children to DSI to complete the formalities for the resident identity card in person on another day.
In order to ensure the issuance of resident identity card to the newborn children for them to collect the consumption subsidy within the collection period, the above-mentioned citizens should reserve sufficient time to bring their children to go through formalities for the resident identity card at DSI. The issuance of the resident identity card will be secured if the formalities are completed on or before 23rd April 2020.
Other first-time applicants of the resident identity card who have already registered for the consumption subsidy have to submit all required documents and complete the formalities on or before 23rd April 2020. Extra fees for expediting the formalities may be incurred, so as to ensure the issuance of the resident identity card on or before 29th April 2020 for the applicants to collect the consumption subsidy.
