Launched December 2020, iAM Smart is Hong Kong's free digital-identity app giving residents one login and a legally recognised digital signature for over 1,300 government, public and private online services plus e-forms; every Hong Kong identity card holder aged 11 or above is eligible. The Digital Policy Office reported registrations passing 4 million in December 2025, with over 180,000 uses a day.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went. All four grades →📊 Impact
4M+ registered users, 1,300+ services and over 180,000 daily uses (December 2025, official figures); registrations stood at 3.8 million seven weeks earlier.
🎓 Lesson
Registrations and use are two different numbers, and only one of them can fall. The department reports more than 4 million registrations and over 180,000 uses a day, and says nothing about how many distinct people are behind the daily figure — while the same government runs event booths with on-site sign-up, which makes the registration count partly a measure of its own promotion. The service count has the same shape: 1,300 is how many services can be reached through the login, not how many anyone reaches.

Forensic record — source dossiers, gaps, hashes and the exact revision this page renders
This layer records what is known about each source, what is still missing, and the exact snapshot this page is rendering. A missing date, archive or hash stays visible as missing.
Awaiting operator and domain-expert review; publication of this revision implies neither.

Known limits of this passport
- Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
- Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
- A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
- The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
