HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION PASSPORTS ORDINANCE - SECT 8

Application or collection of passports outside Hong Kong

(1) Where an application under section 3(1), 5(1) or 6 is made outside Hong
Kong, the applicant shall, in addition to complying with section 7, submit to
all such steps as the Director may reasonably require in relation to the
application.

(2) Regardless of whether an application under section 3(1), 5(1) or 6 is made
outside Hong Kong, if the applicant wishes to collect his passport at a place
outside Hong Kong and the Director considers that it is reasonably practicable
to do so, the application shall be accompanied, in addition to the prescribed
fee under section 7(c), by an additional fee to cover the necessary expenses
for delivering the passport to that place.

(3) The Director shall, with the approval of the Financial Secretary, specify
the additional fee under subsection (2) by notice in the Gazette and he may
specify different fees for different means of delivering a passport and for
different places outside Hong Kong.

(4) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that a notice under
subsection (3) is not subsidiary legislation.
