My father is from Hong Kong. Is it difficult to apply for a Hong Kong identity card at the age of 18?

1. Parents who care about Hong Kong:

At least 18 years old but under 60 years old, parents have settled in Hong Kong or Macao and have reached 60 years old, and they have no children in Hong Kong or Macao and need their care. "Children without Hong Kong or Macao" refers to children who have no permanent resident status in Hong Kong or Macao or have settled in Hong Kong or Macao with the approval of the exit-entry administration department of the public security organ.

2. Over-age children of Hong Kong residents in the Mainland come to settle in Hong Kong:

The applicant's biological father or mother was under111(including the date of birth, the same below) when she obtained the Hong Kong resident identity card, and her biological father or mother was under114. The specific conditions are as follows: the applicant's biological father or mother holds a Hong Kong resident identity card before the first issue date of 20011,and the applicant is under the age of 14 based on the first issue date.

If you meet any of the above conditions, you can immediately apply to the exit-entry administration department of the public security organ at or above the county level where your household registration is located, otherwise it should be difficult.

I hope the above answers can help you.
