How to apply for a Hong Kong driver's license:
As long as the applicant has all the required documents, personal attendance is not necessary. You will need to visit the Transport Department of Hong Kong, located on the 3rd floor of the United Centre in Admiralty, twice.
For the first visit, bring:
1. A copy of your Exit-Entry Permit for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macao.
2. A copy of your mainland driver's license.
3. The application form for a direct issue of a Hong Kong full driving license (you can pick up and fill out the form on-site, or click the address below to download, print, and fill it out in advance).
The key to this step is that you must provide a physical address in Hong Kong where you can receive mail. This is essential, as you will receive a confirmation letter from the Transport Department at this address within one week. After submission, you will receive a receipt listing the documents required for your next visit.
For the second visit, bring:
1. The original Exit-Entry Permit for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macao.
2. The original mainland driver's license (both main document and copy).
3. Proof of a valid mainland address in the form of a bill from the last three months (bank, telephone, water, electricity, or gas bills are all acceptable, provided the recipient's name matches the applicant's).
4. The confirmation letter received at the Hong Kong address.
5. A 900 HKD processing fee. Wait on-site, process the application, and collect your license immediately.
