    The e-Licensing Portal (e-LP) is launched to provide convenience for registered vehicle owners and drivers to manage their licences and vehicles more easily, check relevant information anytime anywhere and renew licences online effortlessly, saving the need to visit the Licensing Offices for application processing.

    Practical functions

    E-LP clearly displays information of licences held by registered users, expiry date as well as progress and results of applications with a dashboard. After registration as a user via "iAM Smart", members of the public can make enquiry at any time on their (1) driving licence, driving entitlements and licence expiry date; (2) driving-offence points; and (3) vehicles registered under their name and expiry date of relevant licences. They can also choose to receive reminders for vehicle and driving licence renewals.

    Additional functions of the e-LP will be launched in the second quarter of 2025. Users will then be able to use the form-filling function to submit online licensing applications, track progress and results, and make online booking for driving tests. Moreover, information on various types of permits will also be available for enquiry.

    How to register an e-LP account

    Hong Kong Identity Card (HKIC) holders can use "iAM Smart" for easy registration as an e-LP user and enquire about their licence information. For Non-HKIC holders, including holders of passports or Exit/Entry Permit for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macao, companies or organisations, they can use a digital certificate or the e-contact means (ECM) registered with TD to create an e-LP account. Please click this hyperlink to register as e-LP user, enjoying "One-stop services at a glance".
