# 1. System Overview & Synchronisation

The **Facial Identity Registration System** ensures your records remain consistent across all platforms. Whether you perform a registration or deregistration via the HKU App or a physical workstation, the system automatically synchronises your status with the central database and all Entrance Terminals. This ensures that your access privileges and app display are always up to date, regardless of which method you use.

## **How to Access**

Online Facial Identity registration is currently available to students. This function can be accessed from the Student Corner of the HKU App

{% hint style="info" %}
**Staff Members:** Please note that mobile registration is currently reserved for students. Staff registration is available only via **on-site workstations.**
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://userguide.hku.hk/hku-facial-identity-registration/1.-system-overview-and-synchronisation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
