Hong Kong and Macau license plates are abbreviated as Yue Z in mainland China, also known as Guangdong-Hong Kong cross-border license plates. Guangdong-Hong Kong cross-border license plates refer to license plates that allow free travel between Hong Kong and mainland China after being issued, and are divided into FV license plates and Yue Z license plates. The following are the application requirements for Guangdong-Hong Kong cross-border license plates: 1. The first category is for vehicles entering mainland China from Hong Kong via the bridge and obtaining mainland license plate quotas: For overseas investment enterprises (individuals) investing in our province, regardless of the investment amount, enterprises in the province that have accumulated a tax payment of more than 100,000 RMB within 3 years (including the year of application) can apply for 1 commercial vehicle quota for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Port; those with a tax payment of more than 500,000 RMB can apply for a second vehicle; those with more than 1 million RMB can apply for a third vehicle. 2. The second category is for vehicles entering Hong Kong from mainland China via the bridge and obtaining Hong Kong license plate quotas: State-owned enterprises, collective enterprises, and private enterprises approved in our province that have accumulated a tax payment of more than 1 million RMB within 3 years (including the year of application).
In Hong Kong, we usually refer to license plate numbers simply as license plates, meaning the identity tags of vehicles. As an ordinary driver who has been driving for several years, I find Hong Kong license plates very practical. They always feature a white background with black characters, designed to be simple and clear, making it easy to recognize your own car at a glance while driving. To apply for a new license plate, you need to fill out forms and pay a fee at the Transport Department, costing around one to two thousand Hong Kong dollars. You can even choose a lucky number like 888, which symbolizes making a fortune, which is quite fun. In fact, license plates are not just about numbers; they affect parking management and traffic tickets. If you forget to note it down, finding your car can be a big hassle. Overall, the Hong Kong license plate system is efficient and straightforward, without much fuss.
