Members of the public can now apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) through an online service launched today by the Transport Department. Users of “iAM Smart+” or eligible applicants holding a valid personal digital certificate may apply online via the GovHK website and receive their IDP by post, without the need to visit a licensing office in person. If the submitted documents and photograph are in order, the department will normally send successful applicants their IDP by registered post within 10 working days of the online application being made. The department reminded those who plan to drive outside of Hong Kong to allow sufficient time for the IDP applications to be processed.

The Government will launch the COVID-19 Mobile Vaccination Station on December 3 to enable members of the public, in particular the elderly, to receive a COVID-19 vaccination at their gathering places in the community.
The station will first provide services to people residing in the vicinity of Sun Chui Estate in Sha Tin.
The procedures of receiving a vaccination on the vaccination vehicle are the same as that in community vaccination centres.
There will be temporary waiting and resting areas at open spaces next to the vaccination vehicle, and free medical consultation services will be available to people who plan to get vaccinated on the spot.
The vaccination vehicle is equipped with a wheelchair lift for people with impaired mobility to receive vaccination.
Only one type of vaccine, either the BioNTech or the Sinovac one, will be provided at the vaccination vehicle.
Members of the public can receive their first, second or third dose of vaccination at the mobile station, which will operate from 10am to 5pm with the last on-site registration time set at 4.30pm.
Eligible people may walk in to get their jab. To reduce waiting time, they can also make prior booking through the enquiry hotline 5193 0375 which operates from 9am to 5pm on weekdays.
The station’s service schedule will be updated from time to time and be uploaded onto the designated website for COVID-19 Vaccination Programme.
