Requirement Relating to Signature and Chop on Vehicle Registration Document

The vehicle registration document (hereunder referred to as "VRD") is a very important document issued to the registered owner of a vehicle. It must be duly signed and properly kept by the registered vehicle owner.

To better safeguard the interest of registered vehicle owners and ascertain the identity of applicants in licensing applications, under the current requirement, the signature and chop on VRD and relevant licensing application form should meet the following requirements, otherwise the Transport Department will not process the application:-

(i) Individual as registered vehicle owner:
 
  • VRD and relevant licensing application form must be duly signed by the registered vehicle owner; and
  • Signature on the application form should match with that on the VRD.
(ii) Company/Organization as registered vehicle owner:
 
  • VRD and the application form must be duly signed by an authorized representative of the company/organization together with a company/organization chop;
  • Company/organization name shown on the chop should match with that of the registered owner on the VRD; and
  • Company/organization chop on the application form must be identical with that on the VRD.

The abovementioned requirement is applicable to all licensing applications that required the submission of VRD together with the licensing forms.
