with Mononym Name
Sent by:        [FOI #1524 email]

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Dear Immigration Department,

I am writing to inquire about residents with mononym names (i.e. name
consists of just one part, there is no last/first name). Mononym names are
common in some parts of the world, including in particular, Mongols with
Chinese nationality. Here are my questions:

1) Does any regulation or law prevent the use of mononym in application
for Identity Card or HKSAR passports?

If the answer for (1) is no:

2) What are the ImmD guidelines for mononym names? What steps would an
applicant need, if any, for mononym names on top of the usual Identity
Card or Passport applications? Does ImmD discourage the use of mononym
names?

3) Are there any extra features on Identity Card or HKSAR passport in
relation to the holder's mononym name? (e.g. an extra observationon their
HKSAR passport)

4) Share the number of Permanent HKID, non-Permanent HKID,  HKSAR
passports, and Document of Identity for Visa Purposes issued with mononym
names for the last 10 years.

Regards,
Claxton
