Applicants may obtain the international driving permit in just one day through these kiosks |
The Transport Department today launched self-service kiosks that will process international driving permits in just one day, starting on Jan. 13, 2025.
Two kiosks were opened, one at the licensing office at
United Centre in Admiralty and another at the Kowloon Licensing Office at the
Cheung Sha Wan Government Offices.
An applicant who plans to drive outside Hong Kong will be able to apply for the international driving permit at either office, and collect it on the same day from 9am to 5pm from Monday to Friday, except on public holidays.
