Vehicle owners used to queue at Transport Department offices or submit applications by mail for driver's license and vehicle license-related matters, often taking several hours. The Transport Department recently launched the "e-Licensing Service Platform," which provides one-stop services for driver's license and vehicle license renewals, as well as access to driving offense records. Let's explore the platform's features and how to use them with Kwiksure.

What is the e-Licensing Service Platform?

The e-Licensing Service Platform is the Transport Department's new electronic licensing platform that centralizes license applications and driving records. Users can view driver's licenses and vehicle registration information, apply for renewals, make payments, and check application status. The Transport Department announced that more features will be launched in Q2 2025, including auto-fill form submission, application status tracking, driving test appointments, and permit information lookup.

3 Main Features:

• Driver's License: Shows codes of vehicle classes permitted to drive, validity period, and restriction codes.
• Driving Offense Records: Lists driving offense points, including offense details, case/ticket numbers, offense dates, points deducted, and court order dates (records from 2020 are still visible).
• Vehicle License: Displays vehicle registration details including model, origin, chassis number, license expiry date, and owner information. License renewal applications redirect to the GovHK

How to Use e-Licensing:

Access the e-Licensing website via a browser, currently available through iAM Smart (required for all Hong Kong residents).

The main interface shows registered licenses and vehicles, with five sections: Driver, Vehicle, e-Permits, e-Contact, and Licensing Office Locations. While various services are offered, most redirect to GovHK websites for actual processing. Yet it saves time searching on the Internet, which many find more convenient than before.

Additional features coming in Q2 next year will include auto-fill forms, application status tracking, driving test appointments, and permit information lookup.
