The TD may request the applicant to provide the aforementioned documents/ information when necessary during the application period and the quota validity period, and also reserves the right to finalise the assessment of the application.| Individual Quota | Company Quota |

Hong Kong private cars using the HZMB must complete all formalities as required by the three government authorities, including the licensing requirements of Hong Kong and Macao government authorities and filing record requirements of the Mainland government authorities.
Under the principle of territoriality, the Main Bridge of the HZMB located in Mainland waters will be governed by Mainland laws. To facilitate the usage of the HZMB by Hong Kong vehicles, Mainland government authorities have waived the requirement for Hong Kong vehicles and drivers to obtain Mainland formal licences. However, filing records formalities are required for the issuance of electronic temporary vehicle and driving licences. To facilitate the application process, the TD will coordinate the filing records formalities. Applicants are required to purchase and submit the Mainland Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for motor vehicles to the TD for filing records. Insurances can be purchased at a later stage after the applicant's quota eligibility is established.
The TD will pass the information of Mainland Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance submitted by the applicants to the Mainland government authorities for filing records. Generally, the validity period of the filing records (the "filing records validity period") will be aligned with the expiry date of the Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance and shall not exceed one year. If the quota vehicle continues to access the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge after the expiry of the filing records validity period, the quota holder may be liable for potential legal responsibilities. Therefore, quota holders are recommended to submit the latest Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance to the TD as soon as possible after the expiry of the filing records validity period to facilitate the TD to process the extension of the filing records validity period for the quota vehicle.
According to the Provisions on the Application for and Use of Driving Licences (Order Nos. 90 and 139, Ministry of Public Security, the People's Republic of China), drivers will no longer be able to apply for temporary driving licences upon reaching the age of 70. Consequently, Hong Kong drivers who intend to drive across the HZMB after turning 70 must obtain a full Mainland driving licence before reaching the age of 70 and comply with relevant requirements.
The application fees for the formalities as required by the Macao and Mainland government authorities are set by relevant authorities. Applicants are advised to make enquiries to relevant authorities on the required procedures and fees to obtain up-to-date information.The TD will coordinate the applications of Hong Kong and Macao licences and filing records formalities of the Mainland government authorities. With the applicant's consent, the TD will pass the information of the applicant, vehicle and driver(s) to the Macao and Mainland government authorities for application and filing record purposes. Applications will be processed by the three government authorities separately.
The application procedures are summarized in the flow chart and further elaborated in the detailed application procedures below.
