HK PR with Chinese nationality will be issued a ID card without photo when they apply for hksar passport, if they are under 11 years of age.
My card has a crack, can I apply now and get the new one ?
And will it be free ?
Really awful site though. Why are they using financial periods - Q2-Q4, instead of actual dates? It's an information site for the general public, not accountants.
$370 to replace.
