APPLICATIONS FOR DRIVING AND VEHICLE LICENCES

*******

THE TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT TODAY REMINDED MOTORISTS THAT THEY WERE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE THEIR HONG KONG IDENTITY CARDS WHILE APPLYING FOR DRIVING OR VEHICLE LICENCES.

IF THEY APPLY IN PERSON AT A LICENSING OFFICE, THEY MUST BRING ALONG THEIR IDENTITY CARDS TO AVOID THE NEED FOR ANOTHER TRIP.

SHOULD THEY APPLY BY POST, THE IDENTITY CARD MUST ALSO BE ENCLOSED. WHEN PROCESSING IS FINISHED, IT WILL BE POSTED BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

+

A DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN EXPLAINED THAT DRIVING LICENCE RECORDS AND THE VEHICLE REGISTER INCLUDE AN ITEM ON IDENTITY, AND PROCESSING OF APPLICATIONS THEREFORE REQUIRES IDENTITY PROOF, FOR WHICH THE HONG KONG IDENTITY CARD IS NORMALLY USED.

HE STRESSED THAT ONLY IN CASES WHERE AN IDENTITY CARD IS NOT HELD WOULD A PASSPORT OR OTHER ACCEPTABLE IDENTITY DOCUMENTS BE ACCEPTED.

PEOPLE WHO ARE EXEMPTED FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE REGISTRATION OF PERSONS ORDINANCE ARE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE THEIR NORMAL MEANS OF IDENTITY, HE ADDED.

APPLICANTS ARE ADVISED TO READ CAREFULLY THE GUIDANCE NOTES PRINTED ON THE BACK OF THE APPLICATION FORM BEFORE THEY FILL IN THE FORM.
