The Department has to take time to process the reserved applications accumulated during the pandemic, the processing time of submitted applications and waiting time for auction will become longer. Thank you for your kind attention and understanding.
In general, applications will be accepted within the determined period 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.

The processing of applications for personalized vehicle registration marks involves several stages and is taken by batches. As a general reference, it would normally take around 12-18 months or more for an application to complete the process and have the approved mark from the deadline for applications of each exercise to be put up for auction. The processing time would be even longer if the applied mark requires further examination during the vetting stage.
