Hi Sam,
Very helpful tips. I am looking into renewing my HK passport in NY.
How long was the process for renewal? Do you have to apply in person? Can you assign an entrusted friend for pickup? What is valid for "copy of USA Federal ID to prove your resident"? Will a driver license or SSI number work?

Thanks.

What. Do you mean copy of USA Federal ID

Hi Kaddy,

What's a US Federal ID? Driver's License?

Hi Sam,

I am filling the form now and they require to put two payment (passport + mail)
How the $67 goes?

Hey, I have to renew my Hong Kong Passport via the China Embassy (NYC) in the coming August 2018.

Which is the official website of the China Embassy in NYC? There are lots of fake sites, which I don't even know which one to believe in.

Moreover, beside the $67 money order, is there any other fee that I have to prepare? Is the $67 money order still valid?

Thanks

This is very useful, I just follow this procedure and submitted my HK passport renewal application. Thanks. The money order is still $67 for the thinner passport option. I don't know how much it's for the thicker 48 pages option.

I download the form from the Hong Kong Immigration Website.
Apart from the money order. After you have submitting everything at the counter. They will give you a payment slip for the admin fees, I think it's like $15 and you need to go back downstairs to window 9 to get a number with the payment slip and then go line up at window 10 and pay by debit or credit card. Then it's completed.

Link for the form for HK PASSPAORT application or "renewal" application for applicant residing outside Hong Kong at the official website of the HK immigration department.

So I am also about to renew my HK passport in NYC. I believe the 67 USD is consist of three parts,
1. $48.00 for the renewal fee
2. $6.00 for double registered airmail
3. $13.00 for the Bank handling charge
TOTAL: $67.00 USD

Besides the $67, they will also charge you $15 USD for the admin fee. But you can pay this fee by Credit card(Visa, Master)

Hope it helps.

Do you only need to give copies of your HKSAR Passport and HK Permanent ID card or you also need to send the originals?
