Renewing a full driver's license in Hong Kong involves specific fees that primarily vary based on the applicant's age. The costs are structured to cover the license validity period and a contribution to the Traffic Accident Victims Assistance Fund.
Full Driving Licence Renewal Fees
The fee structure for renewing a full driving license in Hong Kong depends on whether the applicant is aged 60 or below, or above 60 but below 70.
| Applicant Age Group | Renewal Fee (HK$) |
|---|---|
| 60 years old or below | HK$900 |
| Above 60 but below 70 years old | See breakdown below |
Breakdown for Applicants Aged Above 60 but Below 70
For applicants who are above 60 but below 70 years old, the renewal fee is calculated on an annual basis. This includes two components per year:
- Licence Fee: HK$52 for every year (or any part thereof) of the validity period.
- Traffic Accident Victims Assistance Fund Annual Levy: HK$38.
This means that for each year of validity within this age group, the total cost amounts to HK$90 (HK$52 + HK$38). The total fee will be the sum of these annual charges multiplied by the number of years the license is renewed for. For instance, if a 65-year-old applicant renews their license for 3 years, the total cost would be 3 × HK$90 = HK$270.
