The official reissue page covers inbound visitors and a separate group including non-resident workers, non-resident students and persons granted Residence Authorization. For the latter group, it lists the original valid passport, travel document or identification document used to apply for the authorization, plus the original Macao Non-permanent Resident Identity Card if any.
