There are not a lot of things that are as exciting as driving your newly-bought car for the first time. Getting a personal vehicle registration mark (PVRM) can go a long way to making your vehicle stand out as you cruise through Causeway Bay for the first time. For new drivers, navigating your way through the PVRM application and auctioning procedures may take some time, especially as applications for the personal vehicle registration mark are only open in January, May, and September.
Luckily, our experts at Kwiksure have curated this infographic to list out the key steps in the process of registering personalized vehicle registration marks in Hong Kong.
The infographic is split into two parts, “Applying for a PVRM” and “Auction”. The top half of the infographic explains the procedures of applying for a PVRM while the bottom half explains the procedures for the PVRM auctioning.

After the PVRM application process is completed, applicants who have paid the PVRM deposit are required to participate in the license bidding. The following is the PVRM bidding procedure:
To give you an idea of what you can expect, here are a few snippets from the infographic explaining the PVRM application process.
