Procedure for application over the counter / by post
Waiting Time of Driving Test A road test is allotted to candidate on the date the written test is passed. The computer system will allot to the candidate an end-of-list road test appointment (based on the prevailing waiting time when processing the application) and a test centre for the chosen test type according to the road test region selected by the candidate (current test regions available for selection are the "Kowloon and New Territories Region" and the "Hong Kong Island Region") on the driving test application form (TD 82). Candidates are advised to check the latest updated waiting time and end-of-list appointment date (the end-of-list test appointment date refers to the earliest test appointment date for the vehicle / test type under the selected region for general driving test application purpose) so as to select the most appropriate time and suitable method for submission of application. It would facilitate candidates in estimating the test date and submitting their application in time. For details about waiting time of driving test, please click here. The end-of-list test appointment date information is for reference only. The end-of-list test appointment date and driving test waiting time vary according to changing test demand at different time. This Department will only provide the prevailing end-of-list test appointment date as at the time of handling the enquiries. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the candidate would be allotted with that end-of-list appointment date and the Department is not able to confirm with the candidate the next test appointment date after this end-of-list-appointment date. On the other hand, if you wish to postpone your test, please note that the end-of-list test appointment allotted is subject to the prevailing waiting time for the respective type of test at the original test centre at the time when the application is processed. |
