Registration marks with "HK"/"XX" prefix and special vehicle registration marks will continue to be auctioned in physical auction venues by paddle bidding method ('physical auctions').

Personalized Vehicle Registration Mark
To provide more choices of vehicle registration marks to vehicle owners, the Government introduced a Personalized Vehicle Registration Marks Scheme in 2006. Under the Scheme, a vehicle owner can choose his/her preferred vehicle registration mark, apply to the Transport Department and use it upon approval following a bidding exercise.
A personalized vehicle registration mark shall consist of not more than eight letters (except letters "I", "O" and "Q"); not more than eight numerals; or any combination of letters (except letters "I", "O" and "Q") and numerals the total of which shall not exceed eight. The applications for and allocation of personalized vehicle registration mark are subject to Regulations 12A
–
12R of the Road Traffic (Registration and Licensing of Vehicles) Regulations, Cap. 374 Sub. Leg. E. The relevant web pages aim to introduce what a personalized vehicle registration mark is, the business process from submission of application to auction of personalized vehicle registration mark and the points to note for applicants. In the case of inconsistency, the Regulations shall prevail.

For updates of online auction, you may also refer to the [E-Auction website](https://e-auction.td.gov.hk/en) . [**HKSAR's Press Release**](https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/today.htm) **\[Note: You will need to click the Archives/Yesterday's Press Releases at the bottom of that webpage for the press release(s) not issued that day.\] TD would issue SMS messages related to the auction of vehicle registration marks to the applicants who had provided local mobile phone number.

TD will not send SMS messages or emails with hyperlinks regarding auction of vehicle registration marks to applicants. In addition, please note that the phone number of TD's phone calls related to the auction of vehicle registration marks generally start with 3842.** Traditional Vehicle Registration Mark |
| Traditional vehicle registration marks may be obtained through sale by auction since 1973. TD has launched the E-Auction ([www.e-auction.td.gov.hk](https://e-auction.td.gov.hk/en)), an online auction platform for ordinary vehicle registration marks, and interested bidders once registered as a user can participate in the online auction. Starting from February 2025, registered users can bid for their desired ordinary vehicle registration marks via E-Auction within the designated auction period. Registration marks with "HK"/"XX" prefix and special vehicle registration marks will continue to be auctioned in physical auction venues by paddle bidding method ('physical auctions'). The Transport Department will hold online and physical auctions of vehicle registration marks from time to time. You can pay attention to our press release(s), participate in the auction and bid for your favourite vehicle registration marks. You may also apply to reserve any unassigned traditional vehicle registration marks for auction. A traditional vehicle registration mark that may be applied for auction shall consist only of not more than four numerals; or two letters as its prefix followed by not more than four numerals. The allocation and sale of traditional vehicle registration marks in Hong Kong are governed under Regulations 9 -14 of the Road Traffic (Registration and Licensing of Vehicles) Regulations, Cap. 374 Sub. Leg. E. |

| Personalized Vehicle Registration Mark |
| To provide more choices of vehicle registration marks to vehicle owners, the Government introduced a Personalized Vehicle Registration Marks Scheme in 2006. Under the Scheme, a vehicle owner can choose his/her preferred vehicle registration mark, apply to the Transport Department and use it upon approval following a bidding exercise. A personalized vehicle registration mark shall consist of not more than eight letters (except letters "I", "O" and "Q"); not more than eight numerals; or any combination of letters (except letters "I", "O" and "Q") and numerals the total of which shall not exceed eight. The applications for and allocation of personalized vehicle registration mark are subject to Regulations 12A – 12R of the Road Traffic (Registration and Licensing of Vehicles) Regulations, Cap. 374 Sub. Leg. E. The relevant web pages aim to introduce what a personalized vehicle registration mark is, the business process from submission of application to auction of personalized vehicle registration mark and the points to note for applicants. In the case of inconsistency, the Regulations shall prevail. |

TD has launched the E-Auction ([www.e-auction.td.gov.hk](https://e-auction.td.gov.hk/en)), an online auction platform for ordinary vehicle registration marks, and interested bidders once registered as a user can participate in the online auction. Starting from February 2025, registered users can bid for their desired ordinary vehicle registration marks via E-Auction within the designated auction period. Registration marks with "HK"/"XX" prefix and special vehicle registration marks will continue to be auctioned in physical auction venues by paddle bidding method ('physical auctions'). The Transport Department will hold online and physical auctions of vehicle registration marks from time to time. You can pay attention to our press release(s), participate in the auction and bid for your favourite vehicle registration marks. You may also apply to reserve any unassigned traditional vehicle registration marks for auction. A traditional vehicle registration mark that may be applied for auction shall consist only of not more than four numerals; or two letters as its prefix followed by not more than four numerals.

A personalized vehicle registration mark shall consist of not more than eight letters (except letters "I", "O" and "Q"); not more than eight numerals; or any combination of letters (except letters "I", "O" and "Q") and numerals the total of which shall not exceed eight.
