Licensing Office to introduce Easy Pay System
The Transport Department will launch a trial scheme to introduce the Easy Pay System (EPS) as an alternative method for payment of fees and charges in its licensing offices.
The first phase of the scheme will be implemented in the Hong Kong Licensing Office at third floor, United Centre, 95 Queensway, Central starting from Monday (September 2).
"Members of the public applying for full driving licence in this office can pay the fees by EPS," a spokesman for the department said,
Applicants using EPS could submit their applications and pay the fees at the same counter to save time and reduce the volume of cash in hand.
The spokesman said the scheme would be extended to other licensing offices and licensing services in stages if it was welcomed by the public and when resources were available.

Company proprietors advised to watch out for impostors
The Labour Department today (Saturday) advised company proprietors to watch out for people posing as officers of the department.
The advice followed recent reports about some companies receiving telephone calls from people who claim to be officers of the department and asked for the companies' particulars.
A spokesman for the department said departmental officers making enquiries would always make known their names and the names of their offices.
"Officers conducting site inspections are also instructed to identify themselves by providing their warrant cards.
