    Lost driving licence

    Am wondering if anyone has experience on how long it will take to get a new one?

    10 working days provided everything you submit in order.

    Damn, I'm only staying for another 10 days. Exactly how risky would it be to drive on my UK driving license whilst waiting for the new one? I have a HKID and a British passport

    AFAIK, residents from certain countries, like the UK, can drive in hk with their overseas license for 12 months from the date of their last arrival in HK.

    Not a conversation I'd like to risk. But you have a license. Worse case is a fine. I don't understand why you cannot apply for a new license on the same visit to TD. Give it a try. Regardless you need it.
