On October 29, the "Cross-Boundary Public Services" (Foshan) and the Hong Kong "Cross-Boundary Self-Service Machines" were officially launched in Nanhai, Foshan. Starting now, enterprises and citizens can use these self-service machines at the 24-hour service area of the Nanhai District Administrative Service Center to apply for Hong Kong government services without returning to Hong Kong. This further deepens the governmental connectivity between Guangdong and Hong Kong.

The installation of self-service machines is a collaborative effort between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and the Guangdong Provincial Government, aimed at promoting cross-boundary public services. This self-service area is the only self-service zone in Foshan, making Foshan the fourth core city, following Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai, to implement Hong Kong's "Cross-Boundary Public Services" Self-Service Machines.

The Hong Kong "Cross-Boundary Public Services" provides 70 service items across 11 relevant departments, including high-frequency services such as tax services, company registration, property and vehicle inquiries and registrations, personal documentation, and talent immigration applications. Detailed service information can be accessed on the specialized website.

The "iAM Smart" Self-Registration Kiosk facilitates Hong Kong residents working and living in the mainland to complete registration or upgrade procedures. Upon completion, they can enjoy over 300 online government services through mobile and web platforms. Popular services include electronic applications for student allowances, international driving license applications, and vehicle license renewals. More information can be found on the "iAM Smart" specialized website.

To assist citizens in utilizing the self-service machines, Nanhai has added the "Foshan Hong Kong Public Self-Service Zone(佛山香港政务服务自助区)" to Baidu, Gaode, and Tencent Maps. Citizens can search for this location and navigate to the Nanhai District Administrative Service Center.

Additionally, the "南海政务通" WeChat official account and the "南海通PLUS" WeChat Mini Program have launched a service column titled "自助办事一点通" to guidance on using the self-service machines. Citizens can scan QR codes to access precise operating procedures.
