Yes, as a copy of your ID card is evidence of your employer's compliance with the requirements of the Immigration Ordinance to inspect your ID card before employing you. However, companies are required by the Code to mark the word "copy" across the image of copies of ID cards to reduce the chance for misuse and abuse.
