1 Notification is not mandatory in the case of persons who carry "Republic of China" passports issued by Taiwan.
Such persons should be informed without delay that the nearest office of the Taipei Economic and Cultural
Representative Office ("TECRO"), the unofficial entity representing Taiwan's interests in the United States, can be
notified at their request.
2 Hong Kong reverted to Chinese sovereignty on July 1, 1997, and is now officially referred to as the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region, or quot; SAR." Under paragraph 3(f)(2) of the March 25, 1997, U.S.-China
Agreement on the Maintenance of the U.S. Consulate General in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region,
U.S. officials are required to notify Chinese officials of the arrest or detention of the bearers of Hong Kong passports
in the same manner as is required for bearers of Chinese passports-- _i.e.,_ immediately, and in any event within four
days of the arrest or detention.
3 United Kingdom includes England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Islands and the British dependencies of
Anguilla, British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Montserrat, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. Their residents carry
British passports.
4 Although the U.S.S.R. no longer exists, some nationals of its successor states may still be traveling on its
passports. Mandatory notification should be given to consular officers for all nationals of such states, including
those traveling on old U.S.S.R. passports. The successor states are listed separately above.

Retention Schedule: Upon completion, this form shall be placed in the offender’s institutional file and retained
according to the official retention schedule for that file.
