[Transport Department] Electronic Driving License | 1-Minute Application Tutorial | Features | Usage Precautions

At the end of last year, the Transport Department launched the elicensing. While the user's driver's license information is displayed when using the ‘Electronic Driving License’ app, it is for reference only and does not replace the physical driving license. The ‘Electronic Driving License’ app is a standalone mobile app that can be downloaded for free from the App Store. The app displays all relevant driving license information, such as the holder's name, driver's license number, permitted vehicle type, and expiration date. This makes it more convenient for driving license holders to no longer need to carry their physical driving license.

The most distinctive feature of the electronic driving license is that it uses blue, yellow and red to indicate whether the driving license is valid, partially valid (for example, a certain category of driving license is valid, but another category has expired) and expired.

Step 1：Download the 'Electronic Driving License' from the App Store（iOS / Android） 

Step 2: Hong Kong identity card holders must use ‘Smart Convenience+’ log in, while non-Hong Kong identity card holders must log in using their Card Easy account or biometric authentication.

Step 3: Once you log in successfully, your electronic driving license will be displayed instantly, which is very convenient.

• License holders must display their electronic driving license on their smartphones through the ‘electronic driving license’ mobile application to comply with relevant legal requirements.

• The recognition of electronic driving licenses overseas depends on the policies and regulations of the relevant countries/regions. Before planning to drive abroad, you should first check the relevant driving requirements in that country/region and bring your physical driving license and international driving permit (if applicable) as needed.

• If you have lost your physical driving licence or it has been destroyed/damaged, you still need to apply for a duplicate of the relevant driving licence from the Transport Department.

• Each driving license holder can only register one electronic driving license account, and each account can only be linked to one mobile phone at a time.
