How to Apply for a Hong Kong Driver's License with a Mainland Driver's License?
1 Answers
Bring relevant documents: ID card, driver's license, and Hong Kong address proof, and go directly to Admiralty to apply. To apply for a full driving license without taking a test, you must hold an overseas driving license (including those from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Macau) issued by a recognized country or region. The overseas driving license must be valid or have expired for no more than three years, and it must have been obtained after successfully completing the relevant driving test in the issuing country or region. Below is an introduction to the driver's license: 1. Introduction to the Driver's License: The driver's license, also known as a 'driving permit,' is the legal document required for operating motor vehicles. 2. The Driver's License as a 'Permit': Driving a motor vehicle requires certain skills. Without these skills, reckless driving can lead to traffic accidents. Drivers without a license are not allowed on the road. However, for those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the document that permits them to drive on the road is the 'driver's license.' This shows that a driver's license is a form of 'permit.' 3. Definition of a Driver's License: Internationally, a driver's license is defined as 'a document issued by the competent authority permitting the holder to drive a motor vehicle.' In China, the definition is: 'A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal certificate issued by the administrative authorities to individuals who have studied and mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, passed the relevant tests, and are permitted to drive certain types of motor vehicles.'
