HONG KONG LICENSING OFFICE MOVES TO NEW PREMISES
The Licensing Office of the Transport Department on Hong Kong
Island is to move at the weekend from its outdated accommodation at
Rumsey Street Reclamation to new premises in the Murray Road multi-storey
car park building.
To facilitate the move, the Hong Kong Licensing Office will be
closed on Saturday (January 19) and, from the following Monday (January
21) all business previously transacted at Rumsey Street will be carried
out at No. 2, Murray ver
-
A spokesman for the Transport Department said today that as from
next Monday the Hong Kong Licensing Office and the Driving Test Office
for Hong Kong will be located on the ground floor of 2, Murray Road. The
Licence Records Office and the Pub ic Vehicles Section will be on the
mezzanine floor.
The new telephone number for these offices will be through the
main Transport Department line 5-260121.
The not accommodation should eliminate many of the inconveniences
experienced at the old premises. The amount of counter space serving the
various sections has been increased considerably and this should overcome
any problems associated with the cramped conditions at Rumsey Street.
In fact, the spokesman said, the public in Kowloon is encouraged to
use, as far as possible, the larger Hong Kong Licensing Office for the
renewal of driving and vehicle licences and the transfer of ownership of
private vehicles.
