yes machan it will have for the people already have excisting ID, but it will take little time, as i know in HK they also change there ID for an new one with a chip about 4ys back,

with the new ID interduce they formed a new dept to handle excesting ID holder 's renewal, so they call year group (eg: 1960 to 1965) with in 3 months to come and renew. (if they fail, there will be a fine) .

so we also will be able to renew our ID if they change to an Chip ID, but what i'm scard of is.....that not know how long our srilankan governament office need to do this...maby will take life long...!

For information: with this new chip id HK people dos not need there passport to come & go from HK immigration, they used there fingerprint. i also have one.
