Registration and Licensing of Vehicles and Drivers
This Section provides statistics on the number of vehicles registered and licensed, drivers and learner drivers, driving tests as well as taxi licence tenders in Hong Kong.
As at 31 December 2012, the number of registered motorised and non-motorised vehicles was 735,255 representing an increase of about 3.96% compared to that of 2011 and a growth of 19.74% over the past 10 years since 2003. The number of licensed motorised and non-motorised vehicles reached 667,683 by end 2012, representing an increase of 3.46% in comparison with 2011.
As regards driving licences, there were about 1,935,000 full driving licence holders, representing a growth of 4.43% and 16.64% compared to the numbers in 2011 and 2003 respectively.
In view of the increasing demand for licensing services by the public, measures have been introduced to enable the public to apply for licensing services more conveniently through various channels. Apart from using the counter services at the licensing offices in person, most of the licensing services could be obtained by post, using the drop-in box at the licensing offices or designated post offices in various districts, or through an agent. Besides, applications for renewal of vehicle and driving licences and notification of address change can be made online through GovHK.
