The Transport Department (TD) will launch a pilot project with the Hongkong Post on April 10, 2006 (Monday) to set up new service counters in the Kowloon East Post Office to provide licensing services. Under the name "Kowloon East Driver Licensing Counters" (KEDLC), the two designated counters will provide most of the driving licence-related services currently being handled by the Kwun Tong Licensing Office.
Situated at the Kowloon East Post Office on the Ground Floor, Kowloon East Government Offices, 12 Lei Yue Mun Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, KEDLC will provide the following driving licence-related services from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, and from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday:
Issue of Learner's Driving Licence
Issue/ Renewal of Probationary Driving Licence
Issue/ Renewal of Full Driving Licence

Renewal of Driving Instructor's Licence
Issue of Duplicate Driving Licence / Duplicate Driving Instructor's Licence

The Kwun Tong Licensing Office will continue to provide some 20 licensing services other than those listed above.
The TD will review the pilot project in six months' time. The pilot project, if proved to be successful in terms of operation and utilization, will allow the TD more flexibility in providing licensing services to the public through different channels in cooperation with other agents.
