Hello.
The reason I ask is because I think both my sisters have 3 stars and I have 1? From what I was informed was that the stars represented what you were entitled to (e.g. buy land, vote etc)
I checked online on the website and it seems now that the stars are only an indication of age rather than anything else?
I did have a young persons ID card (phonetically - yee-tung-jing) which also had 1 star and my sisters had 3.
I'm aware of the fact that during when my sisters were born, both parents were still HK citizens and thus gave them the right to abode and 3 stars. However, when I was born, my dad had already become a British citizen but mum was still HK.
Now my question is, I am now 23, would they change anything else on my card if I was to go back to HK within the next few months to tell them they've given me 1* and not 3* (if the website is anything to go by, regarding the indication of age by *'s) would they modify it in any way other than just change the stars (e.g remove any rights?).
Last time I went was April 2009 so I still have time to go back for the 3 year rule.
