      To align with the special work arrangement announced by the Government on January 31 to reduce the risk of the spread of the novel coronavirus in the community, the Transport Department (TD) announced today (February 1) the provision of limited services to members of the public from February 3 until further notice. Details are as follows:

(1) Licensing Offices at Admiralty, Cheung Sha Wan, Kwun Tong and Sha Tin, and Driving Test Appointment Office at Cheung Sha Wan will open from 10am to 3pm from Monday to Friday for the provision of counter services (except for the direct issue of a full Hong Kong driving licence). Applicants who have made an appointment for a renewal of a full driving licence/vehicle licence or an application for an international driving permit can visit the licensing office concerned on the scheduled appointment day during the opening hours of the licensing office.

(2) Public Vehicles Unit at Admiralty will open from 10am to 3pm from Monday to Friday for the provision of counter services.
