​To align with the further stepping up of the social distancing measures announced by the Government today, after considering the need to maintain social distancing as much as possible and to minimise the risk of the spread of COVID-19 in the community, the Transport Department (TD) announced today (July 27) that the TD's driving test centres and written test centre will suspend services from July 29. All driving tests services (including road tests, written test (Part A) and taxi written test) originally scheduled for July 29 and thereafter will be suspended until further notice. The TD will notify the affected candidates individually of the rescheduled test date after resumption of the driving test services.

     In addition, the counter services of the TD's Driving Test Appointment Office at Cheung Sha Wan, the online booking service for driving test appointments and telephone booking service for Repeater Early Driving Test will be suspended from July 29 until further notice. The TD's driving test appointment services (including handling of applications for driving test and test postponement) will start to be suspended on the same date. For candidates who have reserved repeater early test appointment through online or telephone booking service, please visit the specified licensing office to pay for the test form by the payment due date.  

     The TD will continue to closely monitor the development of the pandemic and the social distancing measures implemented by the Government, and resume or adjust driving test services in a timely manner. For enquiries about driving test appointments, please contact the Driving Test Appointment Office at 2771 7723 from 9am to 5pm from Monday to Friday.
