After you have submitted your application

A card will be given to you to acknowledge receipt of your application. (The card will be sent to you by post if the application is submitted by post.) Arrangement will be made to interview you at a later date. If you need to get in touch with the Immigration Department about any other aspect of your application, please write to the Nationality Sub-section, Immigration Department, 4th Floor, Immigration Tower, 7 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, and give your full name, date and place of birth and your application number.

The declaration in Part 12 includes an undertaking to inform the Director of Immigration in writing of any changes which may affect the accuracy of any information provided in the application. It is important to do this while your application is being considered.

A successful applicant will be granted a certificate of naturalization on payment of the prescribed fee. The Director of Immigration may cancel a certificate of naturalization if the Director is satisfied on reasonable grounds that the certificate was obtained by fraud, false representation or the concealment of any material fact. Action may be taken against that person in accordance with law.

According to the Chinese Nationality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance, decisions of the Director of Immigration on naturalization applications cannot be subject to appeals and there is no need to assign any reason for the decisions.
