Can I apply for a Hong Kong identity card to study in Hong Kong?

Of course. During this period, students can apply for a visa to enter Hong Kong and obtain temporary id card in Hong Kong. Minor children can also obtain Hong Kong status and permanent residency after seven years. Studying in Hong Kong requires a Hong Kong and Macao Pass, a student visa, a stay visa, a Hong Kong identity card and a Hong Kong and Macao Pass. Hong Kong and Macao Pass is a travel document issued by People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Exit-Entry Administration of the Ministry of Public Security to mainland residents in China for private travel, visiting relatives, engaging in business, training, employment, studying abroad and other non-official activities.

Replacement of resident identity card

1. I bring my household registration book or other documents that can prove my identity to any police station or accreditation center in the provincial administrative region where my household registration is located (if I don't meet the requirements for accreditation in different places in the province, I can only provide materials as required at my household registration). Those who meet the conditions of legal and stable residence, employment or schooling in other places outside the province, have registered their population information, and meet the unified requirements of the Ministry of Public Security for handling permits in different places, can also apply for handling permits in different provinces nationwide with their residence permit, household registration book or valid identity documents issued by other public security organs, as well as relevant proof materials for schooling/employment/residence. According to the law of the Ministry of Public Security, the replacement of the certificate does not change with age. If a citizen's ID card under the age of 16 is lost, he can also apply for a replacement with the above materials.

2. After collecting portraits and fingerprints in the acceptance window, directly print the registration form for applying for resident identity cards or the registration form for accepting resident identity cards in different places;

3. The applicant shall sign and confirm, pay the accreditation fee (except for special circumstances stipulated by law in 40 yuan), and receive the receipt of resident ID card and fee receipt;

4. After receiving the license notice, I bring my resident ID card to the designated place to get the license. Applicants who urgently need to use their resident identity cards may voluntarily apply for mailing certificates.

To sum up, to study in Hong Kong, you can get a temporary id card, and after seven years, you can get a permanent ID card.
