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 2018, the number of registered motorised and non-motorised vehicles was 880,633, representing an increase of about 2.90% compared to that of 2017 and a growth of 33.40% over the past 10 years since 2009. The number of licensed motorised and non-motorised vehicles reached 797,507 by end 2018, representing an increase of 2.30% in comparison with 2017.

As regards driving licences, there were about 2,290,000 full driving licence holders, representing a growth of 1.15% and 30.34% compared to the numbers in 2017 and 2008 respectively.

In view of the increasing demand for licensing services by the public, a number of measures have been introduced to enable the public to apply for licensing services more conveniently through various channels, and to promote the use of these channels. Currently, apart from using the counter services at the licensing offices in person, members of the public can also obtain most of the licensing services 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, certificates of particulars of motor vehicle, applications for personalised vehicle registration marks and traditional vehicle registration marks for allocation through auction, notifications of address changes, and bookings for driving tests, etc. can be made online through GovHK.
