Registration and Licensing of Vehicles and Drivers

This Section provides statistics on the number of vehicles registered and licensed, drivers, learner drivers as well as driving tests in Hong Kong.

As at the end of 2022, the number of registered motorised and non-motorised vehicles was 939,567, representing a decrease of about 0.16% compared to that of 2021 and a growth of 22.46% over the past 10 years since 2013. The number of licensed motorised and non-motorised vehicles reached 820,935 by the end of 2022, representing a decrease of 1.06% in comparison to 2021.

Regarding driving licences, there were about 2,352,000 full driving licence holders, representing a growth of 0.99% and 21.55% compared to the numbers in 2021 and 2012 respectively.

In view of the increasing demand for licensing services, a number of measures have been introduced by the Transport Department to enable the public to apply for licensing services more conveniently through various channels. The use of these channels are also promoted. Currently, apart from using the counter services at the licensing offices in person, members of the public can also obtain most of the licensing services by post, using the drop-in boxes at the licensing offices or designated post offices in various districts, or through an agent.

Besides, applications for the renewal of vehicle and driving licences, certificate of particulars of motor vehicle, applications for personalised vehicle registration mark and traditional vehicle registration mark for allocation through auction, notification of address change, and booking for driving test, etc., can be made online through GovHK website.
