Hong Kong will roll out electronic driving licenses by the end of 2024 at the soonest, allowing drivers to use their phones to display the license without carrying a physical one. Still, drivers can choose to carry their physical driving licenses if they wish, the Transport Department said at a press conference on Friday afternoon. The electronic license will come with a QR code for police to scan when enforcing the law, the department noted. The department expects a dedicated one-stop electronic license application platform will be launched mid-2024. The four license offices will give out a total of 980 tickets a day to handle driving license services and applications for driving exams.
