Deadline of BN(O) Registration Programme Phase XI
A Government spokesman today (Wednesday) reminded the public that the final date for Hong Kong British Dependent Territories citizens (BDTCs) born in 1996 to apply for British National (Overseas) BN(O) passports will be March 31, 1997.
Hong Kong BDTCs (such as persons born, naturalised or registered in Hong Kong) must obtain a BN(O) passport if they wish to continue to travel on British passports beyond 1997.
As specified in the Second Schedule to the Hong Kong (British Nationality) Order 1986, applications for BN(O) passports must be submitted on or before the final dates relevant to their age groups.
Parents or legal guardians of eligible children born in 1996 must submit their applications on or before March 31, 1997. They should apply for a Hong Kong permanent identity card on behalf of the children at the same time. To avoid a last minute rush, they are advised to apply early.
Hong Kong BDTCs living abroad are also required to observe the cut-off dates if they want to apply for a BN(O) passport. However, they are not required to return to Hong Kong for their applications. They should submit their applications to the nearest British passport issuing office either by post or in person. The required overseas application forms can be obtained at those offices or the Hong Kong Immigration Department.
