Hong Kong Re-entry Permit (Chinese: 回港證; Cantonese Yale: Wùigóngjing) are issued to Hong Kong residents by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) for travel to mainland China and Macau Special Administrative Region.

On the other hand, children under the age of 11 are not required to obtain a Hong Kong identity card.

Hong Kong Identity Cards (bearing '***', '*' or 'R' symbol or Permanent Identity Cards) or Hong Kong Re-entry Permits themselves are sufficient travelling documents to enter Macau for a maximum period of one year.
