    E-LP clearly displays information of licences held by registered users, expiry date as well as progress and results of applications with a dashboard. After registration as a user via "iAM Smart", members of the public can make enquiry at any time on their (1) driving licence, driving entitlements and licence expiry date; (2) driving-offence points; and (3) vehicles registered under their name and expiry date of relevant licences. They can also submit online licensing applications and choose to receive email reminders for vehicle and driving licence renewals via the platform.

    NEW Additional functions of the e-LP have been launched on 10 July 2025 to provide greater convenience to members of the public. Users may now make online booking for driving tests and check the appointment records and results, enquire the taxi-driver-offence points records and the information on permits held by them as well as track progress and results of their online licensing applications.
