About Renewal Application

The arrangements for renewal applications for Northbound Travel for Hong Kong Vehicles are only applicable to eligible applicants who received the invitation email from the Transport Department (TD).  They may submit renewal applications online during the designated application period allotted by the TD, without participating in computer ballot.

Eligibility of Renewal Application

Other than the general application eligibility of applicants, vehicles and designated drivers (please click here for details), renewal applications are required to comply with ALL of the following criteria:

• Applicant remain unchanged;
• Vehicle remain unchanged (including the Hong Kong Registration Mark, Chassis No. / V.I. Number., Engine Number and colour, etc.); and
• Designated drivers remain unchanged (including the number of designated driver(s) and the Hong Kong Identity Card No. of the designated driver(s)). 

Applications not Meeting Renewal Eligibility

• If renewal applicants fail to meet any of the above criteria, they will have to participate in computer ballot for submission of applications as “New Application”.
• If an application does not meet the eligibility for a renewal application, the Mainland authorities requires the TD to first submit a request to the Mainland authorities to cancel the electronic vehicle licence after its expiry.  The TD shall complete all cancellation procedures before passing the new application for Mainland authorities’ processing. The cancellation process will take around 2 weeks, please wait patiently.
   

Invitation to Submit Renewal Applications

• The TD will issue notification emails to holders of “Temporary Electronic Vehicle Licence” with validity period ending soon by batches for submission of renewal applications.  Invited permit holders may submit renewal applications and supporting documents by the passcode provided in the email during the allotted application period.  In case permit holders cannot submit renewal application during the allotted application period, they shall participate in computer balloting for a quota to submit applications for “Northbound Travel for Hong Kong Vehicles”.
