Prior to the introduction of the BN (0)

passport, efforts were also made to

provide the public with more information

and guidance through the mass media,

discussions at District Board meetings,

displays of posters, distribution of

explanatory leaflets and operation of a

recorded telephone message system. Since

17 November 1987, a hotline has been

operating in the Immigration Department

to serve members of the public who wish

to enquire about the BN (O) passport.

We believe that the number of

BN (0) passport applications will

gradually increase. The BN (0) passport

has a 10-year validity and it can be

replaced both before and after 1 July

1997, whereas the BDTC passport has a

progressively shorter validity as 1997

approaches, and is not replaceable after

1 July 1997.
