Residents will be able to book inoculations and receive Covid-19 test results, register to vote, renew car licences, and pay taxes and utility bills on a new digital platform set to launch on Wednesday under the latest government initiative to turn Hong Kong into a smart city.

The one-stop-shop iAM Smart platform, which cost HK$60mil (RM31.24mil), will allow Hongkongers to freely use a single digital identity and authentication to conduct government and commercial transactions online, automatically fill in personal details on electronic forms and handle statutory documents and procedures.
