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 2014, the number of registered motorised and non-motorised vehicles was 786,145 representing an increase of about 2.47% compared to that of 2013 and a growth of 26.26% over the past 10 years since 2005. The number of licensed motorised and non-motorised vehicles reached 713,618 by end 2014, representing an increase of 2.61% in comparison with 2013.
As regards driving licences, there were about 2,082,000 full driving licence holders, representing a growth of 3.53% and 16.77% compared to the numbers in 2013 and 2005 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.
