What should I do if I lose my Hong Kong passport?

There are several forms of passport loss: first, the passport was lost before leaving China; The procedures are as follows: 1) First inform the Immigration Bureau of the loss of passport and visa, and then inform the school to postpone the school start date; 2) Report the case to the lost police station and obtain the report certificate; 3) Report the loss in a newspaper designated by the local exit-entry administration office at or above the municipal level; 4) Bring my ID card and household registration book, and go to the local entry-exit administration office for passport replacement with the above two certificates. The prescribed time limit for the formalities is 3 months. 5) After obtaining the passport, get in touch with the Shanghai Embassy, submit the report certificate and the copy of the loss report statement to the head of the Embassy, and go through the visa subsidy procedures. Second, there are two procedures for losing a passport abroad: 1. It takes about three months to get in touch with the consulate and bring my passport and visa copy to the Australian Consulate General in China to apply for loss reporting. The China Consulate will present the temporary id card for use in a short time. After the passport is processed, the visa will be reissued directly to Dimia. 2. With the help of family members, you can also apply for a replacement passport in the place where you have your household registration in China with the relevant certificates issued by the people of China and China's embassies and consulates abroad, and then send it to Australia to apply for a replacement visa. Third, you can master the time flexibly. If you return to China after leaving the country and lose your passport, you can apply for a replacement passport with foreign identity certificates (mainly foreign identity cards, residence permits, registered student cards, and employment certificates). In any case, it is very troublesome to reissue passports and visas. I sincerely hope that students studying abroad can cherish their passports.
