Afterwards, the registration in eHealth will be effective and you will receive a notification of successful registration with an 8-digit access key via your selected communication means. Under normal circumstances, eHR within the eHealth sharable scope would be shared to the system around 30 minutes to 1 hour after identity verification. Therefore, you are advised to allow sufficient time before giving sharing consent to healthcare providers for access to your eHR.

 

* Note:
If you have submitted your application online or via written means and are unable to verify your identity in person at the above locations, you can authorise a person to complete identity verification on your behalf by specifying on the online submission form or authorisation letter accordingly. The authorised person should bring his / her identity document and a copy of your identity document for identity verification.
