Quick question:
I have a HK driver's license (and an EU one). I got the International license in HK in the past, and now need to update it by Thursday for a trip to Thailand. I see there are a lot of free appointments at the license office this week. Will they make it immediately and give it to me? Would rather not go in on Monday/Tuesday, but leaving it until Wednesday feels risky!!!
They're issued on the spot. Went to the Sham Shui Po brach with appointment, took 10 minutes.
Be careful, staff at car rental places may not care about IDP, but police or insurance companies may in case of an accident.
Thanks. Do I need to bring 2 passport photos to simply update an international license? I have one already from 2013. Only problem is that in the fine print it says valid only one year.
Just a friendly reminder for anyone who might read this: you need 2 passport photos (can get them at a Fotomax on the 1/F or some other shops in the center) AND proof of address. In my case a soft copy on my phone worked (thank goodness!). It is indeed very helpful to have booked an appointment as then you don't have to wait in a queue and you can go straight up to a counter specifically for people who booked appointments.
