Hello everybody, Id like to know whether it's sufficient to show my baby's HK birth cert (stating 'established') at the HKIA immigration. She hasn't got any sticker in her passport nor HKID. TIA
 
I would go get the sticker at immigration. It's fairly painless. Every time we went through immigration the officer would remind us to do it.
 
i travelled with my son's birth certificate and passport for the first 2 times and realised that it takes up more time to get through the immigration control post. the first time, the immigration officer took atleast 5 minutes to figure out the birth certificate although i showed her that it says "established" at the end. guess she didn't trust me (?) so she had to call another officer to confirm zzzzzz

after the second time, i applied for the immigration sticker and things have gone more smoothly at the immigration control post. also, not carrying the birth certificate is less one thing to worry about when you're travelling and abroad :)
 
How do you go about applying for a sticker? I've been traveling w my son's birth cert as well, and I agree it's a pain.
 
Is it stated on the sticker who the parents are? I noticed when I didn't show the birth certificate abroad while I travelled alone with my son, but just his passport, they still asked for it because he has his father's last name. Just to make sure we are related, I guess.
 
No the sticker doesn't include the parents name, only the child's and confirms their eligibility for permanent id. This is for HK immigration, entering and departing HK. I carry a copy of my son's birth certificate when travelling as we don't have the same last name, but I've never had to show it. Some airlines do ask when checking in.
