Can I renew my driving licence / apply for a full driving licence if I still have outstanding court fines to pay?

A full driving licence / probationary driving licence holder must settle the outstanding court fines before renewing his/her driving licence / apply for a full driving licence.

If you use a cheque to pay the court fine, the Transport Department will only accept your licence application starting from the 8th working day after the day of payment. [For example, a payment of court fine is made on 1 February (Monday).  6 and 7 February are Saturday and Sunday respectively. The licence application can be submitted on 11 February (Thursday) when there is no public holiday within the period.]

If you use EPS / cash to pay the court fine, the licence application can be processed within the same day. After paying the fine, if the applicant wishes to apply for licence renewal / apply for a full driving licence on the same day, he/she is advised to do it in person / by agent and bring along with the original copy of the payment receipt.
