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 end of 2015, the number of registered motorised and non-motorised vehicles was 814,322, representing an increase of about 3.58% compared to that of 2014 and a growth of 29.2% over the past 10 years since 2006. The number of licensed motorised and non-motorised vehicles reached 742,179 by end 2015, representing an increase of 4% in comparison with 2014.
As regards driving licences, there were about 2,161,000 full driving licence holders, representing a growth of 3.79% and 17.32% compared to the numbers in 2014 and 2006 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.
