Application for the “Registration Certificate for Kindergarten Admission”

  1. Under the kindergarten (KG) education scheme (hereafter referred to as “Scheme”), each child who can receive education in Hong Kong will only be issued a registration document and all Scheme-KGs can only admit children holding a valid registration document.
  2. Parents are required to submit an application for the Registration Certificate for Kindergarten Admission (RC) to the Education Bureau (EDB) from September toNovember 2025. The RC will be open for applications in September 2025 and EDB will announce and upload the details of application onto EDB website(https://www.edb.gov.hk/k1-admission_e) in due course. Upon receipt of theapplications with all necessary information and documents provided, it generallytakes six to eight weeks for EDB to complete processing of the applications.Depending on the method of submission of application form (including completingand submitting e-application via EDB’s website, applying through “iAM SMART” mobile app, mailing the application form by post and submitting the application form in person), EDB would issue the RC by different methods to applicants who are eligible for subsidy under the Scheme. If a child cannot obtain an RC as he /she can receive education in Hong Kong but is not eligible for receiving subsidy under the Scheme2, EDB will then issue a Kindergarten Admission Pass (AP) to the child concerned for registration and admission to a Scheme-KG but the parents concerned are required to pay full school fees before deduction of subsidy under the Scheme as shown on the Fees Certificate of the KG to which the child is admitted.

2 Upon obtaining permission from the Director of Immigration, non-local children (such as children holding a form of recognizance, children whose parent(s) is/are holding a student visa, etc.) can receive education in Hong Kong but they are not eligible for subsidy under the Scheme.
