Hong Kong Passport

The term "Hong Kong passport" can refer to the following passports [http://www.nzembassy.com/topic.cfm?CFID=12740200&CFTOKEN=40547404&c=15&l=57&s=go] , [http://www.brazilianconsulate.org.hk/ehtml/services_visa.htm] :
* British National (Overseas) passport (See also: British nationality law and Hong Kong)
**This passport, however, is actually a British passport. It is incorrect to call it "Hong Kong Passport" as the passport is not in any way issued by the Government of Hong Kong. Since holders of British National (Overseas) passports are citizens of the former crown colony, people without knowledge of the history of Hong Kong may refer the passport this way.

* Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport
