Hong Kong Certificate of Identity

Hong Kong Certificate Of Identity

The Hong Kong Certificate of Identity (CI; Chinese: 香港身份證明書) was a formal travel document and passport, issued by the Hong Kong Government's Immigration Department until June 30, 1997 (See transfer of the sovereignty of Hong Kong). It is no longer possible to possess a valid CI as a travel document, as all CIs have expired by 30 June 2007, though most CI holders should be eligible to hold the HKSAR Passport.

Famous quotes containing the words certificate and/or identity:

    God gave the righteous man a certificate entitling him to food and raiment, but the unrighteous man found a facsimile of the same in God’s coffers, and appropriated it, and obtained food and raiment like the former. It is one of the most extensive systems of counterfeiting that the world has seen.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    When I quit working, I lost all sense of identity in about fifteen minutes.
    Paige Rense (b. 1929)
