The Police Licensing Office (PLO) of the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) launched the “HKP e-Licence” mobile application on Monday for issuing electronic licenses and permits, providing applicants with further convenience through e-service.
All eight types of licenses and permits processed by the PLO Arms Licence, Temporary Liquor Licence, Lion/Dragon/Unicorn Dance Permit, Security Personnel Permit, etc., will be issued through the application.
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 licenses or permits.
License or permit holders can now access their approved licenses and permits at any time through “HKP e-Licence”, which also features a push notification function to remind users to renew their licenses or permits.
In addition, the paper form of licenses and permits will continue to be available after the launch of “HKP e-Licence” in order to allow license and permit holders to keep a paper copy if they so prefer.
Both electronic and paper licenses and 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, and 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.
