| Note 1: | At present, the vehicle licence ("VL") issued by the Transport Department will no longer bear a printed expiry date, while other information printed on the VL remains unchanged. If you do not have a VL without a printed expiry date, upon receiving your application, if the application information, required documents and payment are complete and in order, this Department will send a VL without a printed expiry date together with a Vehicle Licensing Notice ("VLN") to your correspondence address by registered post within 10 working days (Working days denote Monday to Friday excluding General Holidays). The time for dispatching the licence is excluded from the aforesaid processing time. |
| Note 2: | If you already have a VL without a printed expiry date, upon receiving your application, if the application information, required documents and payment are complete and in order, this Department will send a VLN to the email address you provided when submitting the online application within 10 working days. |
| Note 3: | Please note that completing online application submission and payment does not mean that your VL is renewed. After your application is approved, the Transport Department will issue a VLN to you. The issuance of the VLN means that the VL has been successfully renewed and the latest licensed period of the vehicle will be shown thereon. The registered owner must display the VL on the vehicle and ensure the licence is valid for using the vehicle on roads. |
| Note 4: | If you submit renewal application within 4 months before the expiry of the existing vehicle licence, the successfully renewed licence will take effect after the expiry date of the existing vehicle licence. |
| Note 5: | If you submit renewal application online after the expiry of the existing vehicle licence, the successfully renewed licence will take effect on the date the online application is submitted. |
