Is 'Real-Name Registration' (ID/Passport scan) mandatory to use a CoreESIM in <strong>Hong Kong</strong>?

Updated April 22, 2026

No, CoreESIM's travel eSIMs for Hong Kong are generally exempt from the mandatory 'Real-Name Registration' requirements imposed on local physical SIM cards. While Hong Kong has implemented strict regulations requiring ID or passport verification for local SIM purchases, CoreESIM's offerings are typically classified as international roaming data plans. This allows for convenient online purchase and immediate activation, bypassing the need for in-person document verification and streamlining your connectivity experience.
