Can I renew my driving licence if I still have outstanding court fines to pay?

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

If you use a cheque to pay the court fine, the Transport Department will only accept your application of renewal 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 application for renewal 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 renewal application can be processed within the same day. After paying the fine, if the applicant wishes to apply for renewal 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.
