HOMEHK · ABOUT THE PLATFORM
About HomeHK, our sources and editorial approach
HomeHK brings together Hong Kong public information and practical Hong Kong and Greater Bay Area guides. It helps you find the next step, understand the data's limits and reach the relevant authority or provider. HomeHK is an independent information platform, not an official government, bank, healthcare or restaurant website.
Sources and compilation
Guides prioritise information and service entry points from public authorities, public institutions and service providers. They bring together documents, preparation checklists, practical steps and jurisdiction. Hong Kong, Macao and mainland arrangements must be read separately. Source links let you consult the original information; they do not imply endorsement of HomeHK.
“Compiled by HomeHK” identifies the platform's compilation, rather than claiming a named professional review or an on-site visit. Some guide content is prepared and translated with AI assistance; that does not constitute official verification. Use the sources on each article to confirm information affecting your eligibility, costs, deadlines and personal decisions.
Explore public data sources and methodsWhat dates and data status mean
A guide's preparation date records writing or substantive revision, not a check of every official page on that date. Rebuilding or publishing the website does not automatically advance all guide dates. An official publication date, an observation time and a platform fetch time describe different things; read each timestamp according to its label.
Public data tools update according to their sources and may show missing, delayed, stale or unavailable information. Missing data does not mean no queue, no vacancies, no incident or no charge. Historical or cached information cannot guarantee conditions when you arrive.
Check data health and source statusBefore you act
Before travelling or submitting an application, confirm current fees, eligibility, capacity, opening hours and documents with the relevant provider. Tickets, bookings, transactions and applications belong on the appropriate official channels. Guides provide general information; individual legal, tax, financial or medical questions require suitable professional advice.
Corrections and suggestions
To report an error, use the support form with the HomeHK page URL, the information at issue and a verifiable official source. This helps locate and correct the problem. Do not submit identity numbers, passwords, verification codes or medical records. Source changes and corrections concern the affected article or tool; they do not imply that the entire platform has been reverified.
