Stamping of Property Document

Main Content

In 2004, the Inland Revenue Department introduced e-Stamping service, which involves printing a stamp certificate online for attachment to the instrument as an alternative to the conventional stamp. Such stamp certificates have the same legal status as conventional stamps imprinted on instruments.

e-Stamping service is available to users at GovHK. You can submit a stamping application, make payment and obtain a stamp certificate via the Internet. The service applies only to instruments related to property transactions namely, agreement for sale, assignment and tenancy agreement. Authenticity check of stamp certificates is also available at the above-mentioned website.
