I just realized I've misplaced my HKID. I have a CX flight tonight to Europe. I do have my US passport. Being Sunday evening, I haven't had time to report my card lost yet (and it might not be lost...I haven't had a chance to search the office and another apartment). Very plausible it's not lost but I won't be able to locate it before my 12:30am flight.

I presume (hope?) I will be fine after explaining to the immigration officer, but can anyone confirm...and offer me some peace of mind?

It helps if you know your HKID number, but even if you don't have that it should still be okay, might just take a few minutes longer. Immigration staff do some searching on the computer, verify you are indeed a HKID/PR holder, might pull you aside for a moment, but no more than a few minutes of inconvenience. Very friendly staff in my experience.

To clarify, I have now encountered this problem both as a HKID holder (I was on a work visa, before 7 years when I obtained PR), and now as a HK PR.
