Applications selected for 2nd Personalised Vehicle Registration Marks Exercise
The Transport Department (TD) announced today (November 10) that the application numbers of the 1,500 Personalised Vehicle Registration Marks (PVRM) applications selected by lot for the second exercise have been published on TD's website (www.td.gov.hk) and posted on the notice boards of the department's Licensing Offices.
The list will also be published in the Hong Kong Economic Times and South China Morning Post on Monday (November 13).
A TD spokesman said the applicants had already been sent an acknowledgement of receipt bearing an application number. "They may check the list to see whether their applications have been selected. Applicants who do not find their application numbers on the list should regard their applications as unsuccessful," he said.
The department will later check the proposed PVRMs selected against the basic combination requirements and will inform the applicants of the results by registered letters. If, among the selected applications, more than one applicant proposes the same PVRM, only the one on which the lot falls first out of those applications will be further processed.
If the selected PVRMs meet the basic requirements, the department will also send notices by registered mail to the applicants in batches, requiring them to pay a deposit of $5,000 at the Hong Kong Licensing Office. If an applicant fails to pay the deposit within the period specified in the notice, his/her application will be cancelled automatically and will not be further processed.
Upon receipt of the deposit, the Commissioner for Transport will determine if an application should be approved or rejected, with the assistance of a vetting committee. PVRMs approved in the 2nd exercise will be put up for auction in 2007. Auction details will be published in newspapers and on the department's website in due course.
For enquiries, applicants can call TD Hotline at 2804 2600.
