Registration and Licensing of Vehicles and Drivers

This Section provides statistics on the number of vehicles registered and licensed, drivers and learner drivers, as well as driving tests in Hong Kong.

As at end of 2016, the number of registered motorised and non-motorised vehicles was 833,879, representing an increase of about 2.40% compared to that of 2015 and a growth of 29.68% over the past 10 years since 2007. The number of licensed motorised and non-motorised vehicles reached 759,240 by end 2016, representing an increase of 2.30% in comparison with 2015.

As regards driving licences, there were about 2,229,000 full driving licence holders, representing a growth of 3.14% and 21% compared to the numbers in 2015 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.
