Wise does not require a passport for verification!!
If you want to open a Hong Kong account in Wise, remember to use your ID card to open it first. This way, you can have both a HKD account and a USD account in Wise. I initially used my passport to open a Wise USD account, which prevented me from obtaining a Wise HKD account because the HKD account can only be verified with an ID card. Wise also does not support adding another ID card for identity verification. So I still don't have a HKD account, which has caused me to reach 5 million in exposure but get stuck on the Stripe account linking page. I might have to go to Hong Kong to get a bank card to successfully link Stripe. Friends who haven't opened a Wise HKD account yet, be sure to avoid this pitfall.
