We are committed to ensuring that our website conforms to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA requirements to the maximum extent possible. However, as our website contains considerable multi-media contents, it is not possible to incorporate all Level AA accessibility requirements in all of them. Nonetheless, the multi-media contents are so located as not to affect the accessibility of significant contents in our website.
This webpage contains multi-media contents and may not fully comply with all Level AA accessibility requirements. If you need any information or assistance, please email us at crenq@cr.gov.hk or call our Customer Services and Management Division at (852) 2867 1541.
