Are immigrants still eligible to have a residence in Hong Kong?

Yes, notarized by the same person first.

After we applied for permanent residence in Hong Kong and cancelled our mainland hukou and applied for a Home Visit Permit, we became "stateless" in the Mainland. However, in the past, various registration procedures, such as real estate registration, industrial and commercial registration, deposit accounts, stock accounts, etc. All of them are handled as the original mainland. After Hong Kong becomes a full member, we will no longer need original documents to go through relevant formalities. For example, if we sell the real estate originally registered with the mainland ID card after "becoming a full member", we cannot register the change with the Hong Kong ID card or the home visit card, because it is impossible to prove that the person on the Hong Kong ID card or the home visit card is the same person as the person on the original mainland ID card.

In order to solve this problem, the "same person" notarization is widely used in mainland China to prove the identity of the registrant. The so-called "same person" notarization is a notarized document issued by a notarization institution entrusted by Hong Kong (a Hong Kong lawyer with the qualification of entrusting notarization), which proves that the person on the Hong Kong identity card and the Home Visit Permit is the same person as the person on the mainland identity card. With this notarized document, the parties concerned can go back to the relevant departments or institutions in the Mainland to go through the relevant procedures such as change registration.

To handle the notarization of "same person", the parties shall prepare the following identity documents:

1) Original Hong Kong Identity Card (for checking and copying);

2) The original passport (Home Visit Permit) for Hong Kong and Macao residents to and from the Mainland (for checking and copying);

3) A copy of the personal information page and the last endorsement page of the original Hong Kong and Macao Pass;

4) Copy of the original ID card of mainland residents.

At the time of notarization, the parties need to sign a statement in front of the entrusted notary, and the content is probably "I am who I used to be". The above documents or their copies will be attached to the statement. After being witnessed and signed by the entrusted notary, the entrusted notary will also submit the notarial certificate to China Legal Service (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (generally referred to as "Zhongzhong", which is actually the window unit of the French Ministry of Justice in Hong Kong) for countersignment. Notarization documents can only be used in the mainland after countersignature by China and France.

The above-mentioned identity documents used for notarization of "the same person" belong to the simplest and most standardized documents. Sometimes, the parties may not have these documents (especially copies of Hong Kong and Macao passes and mainland ID cards) and need to use alternative documents. If the original personal information page and the copy of the last endorsement page of the travel permit to and from Hong Kong and Macao are not saved, the parties concerned need to apply to the Hong Kong Immigration Department for a personnel registration certificate as proof; If you don't keep a copy of the mainland ID card, you need to go to the place where the original account is located to get the household registration certificate.

In terms of fees, the current quotation for a set of "one person" notarized documents is about HK$ 3,600 (floating around 200 yuan). But it must be emphasized that this price is based on the simplest and most standard state. If the customer's workload is increased due to special circumstances, the price may rise. In addition, if multiple notarized documents are required at the same time, additional originals of notarized documents can be requested at the same time, and the cost is about HK$ 65,438+0 in 800 yuan and 200 yuan.

In principle, you need "one thing, one certificate" to notarize the relevant procedures in the Mainland by "one person", so the parties need to decide the number of original notarized documents according to the number of procedures they need to go through (but if you go through the formalities in the same department, for example, you can handle the registration of changes of multiple properties in the same real estate registration department, you can only use one set of notarized documents). It is emphasized that additional original notarial documents must be submitted at the same time when going through notarization procedures, otherwise it will be deemed as re-processing if it is issued separately afterwards, and the fee will be calculated according to the standard price (that is, the above fee is about HK$ 3,600).
