Despite the gradual resumption of auctions of vehicle registration marks since March 2021, the processing time of submitted applications and waiting time for auction will become longer due to COVID-19 pandemic.  Thank you for your kind attention and understanding. 

Applications accepted in January, May and September each year.   

Before submitting applications, applicants should read the guidance notes carefully, and may also make reference to the auctioned marks under "Personalized Vehicle Registration Mark (Auction)" for the combinations and display arrangements of PVRMs.
