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.
