No, you are not required to complete 'Real-Name Registration' or an ID scan to activate your WestESIM for Hong Kong. While local regulations now mandate strict passport or ID registration for physical SIM card purchases, WestESIM's travel eSIMs are designed as roaming data solutions, exempting you from these local requirements. This allows for a swift, hassle-free online purchase and instant activation, letting you connect immediately upon arrival.
