Section 3   Registration and Licensing of Vehicles and Drivers

This Section provides statistics on the number of vehicles registered and licensed in Hong Kong, drivers and learner drivers, driving tests as well as taxi licence tenders. As regards driving licences, there were about 1 783 000 holders of full driving licences at 31 December 2005, representing an increase of 3.48% and 62.83% as compared to the number in 2004 and 1996 respectively. In view of the increasing demand for licensing services by the growing number of vehicle and driving licence holders, measures have been introduced to enable the public to apply for licensing services through other channels besides visiting the licensing offices in person. At present, applications for renewal of vehicle and driving licences can be made by post or on-line through personal computers under the Electronic Services Delivery scheme.
