Payment can only be made in cash. The cost of the booklet and an administrative fee valid for the entire duration of the passport varies according to the exchange rate at the time of issue and is currently around 1,000 HKD. We do not accept 1,000 HKD banknotes.
The annual fee has been abolished since July 2014.
The timing and procedures for issuing a new passport depend on the individual circumstances of the applicant. It should be noted that, in the event of out-of-date marital status or personal data discrepancies, these must be updated before the new passport is issued, therefore a longer time for the procedure may be necessary.
When the new passport is collected, the old passbook will be simultaneously canceled and returned to the Italian national. Please be reminded that it is not possible to collect a new passport without presenting the old booklet on the day of collection.
Please note that this office does not cancel visas on old passports. Generally speaking, these can still be used by traveling with both booklets. However, for your peace of mind, before embarking on a trip, please check the validity of the visa with the competent Authorities of the destination country.
As for HK visas, you can travel with two booklets or you can request the Immigration Department for an endorsement on the new booklet. Visas for China continue to be valid when traveling with both passports.
