Police Licensing Office (PLO) of the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) launched "HKP e-Licence" mobile application today (June 24) for issuing electronic licences and permits, providing applicants with further convenience through e-service.
All eight types of licences and permits processed by the PLO will be issued through the application. They are:
(1) Arms Licence,
(2) Massage Establishments Licence,
(3) Playing Musical Instrument Permit in Public Street or Road,
(4) Pawnbrokers Licence,
(5) Temporary Liquor Licence,
(6) Lion/Dragon/Unicorn Dance Permit,
(7) Security Personnel Permit, and
(8) Societies Registration.
Since the launch of the "Licensing e-Service" platform by the HKPF in 2022, members of the public have been able to make online applications and payments for the abovementioned licences or permits. Licence/permit holders can now access their approved licences and permits at any time through "HKP e-Licence", which also features a push notification function to remind users to renew their licences or permits.
Besides, the paper form of licences and permits will continue to be available after the launch of "HKP e-Licence" in order to allow licence and permit holders to keep a paper copy if they so preferred. Both electronic and paper licences/permits contain identical information with QR codes, and the holders can present either format for inspection by enforcement officers.
"HKP e-licence" supports iOS and Android operating systems. Members of the public can download it from Apple App Store, Google Play and HUAWEI AppGallery. More information on the application can be found on the PLO’s website: www. police.gov.hk/licensing.
