• 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 up to eight or more months 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.
