Mutual recognition and exchange of driver's licenses to facilitate connectivity in the Greater Bay Area

2023-05-08

Driving travel, family visits, and exchanges between mainland and Macau residents are becoming increasingly convenient. Starting from May 16th, the agreement on mutual recognition and renewal of driver's licenses between mainland China and Macau will officially take effect. According to the agreement, mainland China and Macau recognize the valid driver's license issued by the other party, and one party allows personnel holding the other party's driver's license to drive directly or obtain a driver's license without a test. With the comprehensive resumption of personnel exchanges between mainland China and Hong Kong and Macao, personnel exchanges and economic and trade cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have become more frequent. The agreement on mutual recognition and renewal of driver's licenses between mainland China and Macau is another positive factor that facilitates the travel of residents in the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau, following the implementation of the "Macau Car North" policy. On January 1st of this year, the policy of "Australian cars heading north" was implemented. As long as the Macao owner is over 18 years old and holds the Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents to the mainland, he or she can apply for a Macao private car entry permit registered and held by him or her. Lowering the threshold is more inclusive, simplifying procedures is more convenient for people, and cross-border travel is more convenient. Since the implementation of the policy, the number of single license plate vehicles in Macau has shown a stepwise growth. As of the early morning of April 3rd, the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge Customs under the jurisdiction of Gongbei Customs has supervised and released over 100000 single license plate vehicles entering and exiting Macau. The policy of 'driving directly to pass the customs',' traveling as soon as you go ', and' seeing what new opportunities there are '... The policy of' Macau cars heading north 'and the mutual recognition and exchange of driver's licenses will form a synergistic effect, better promoting the exchange and development between the mainland and Macau. Behind the measures, a series of institutional innovations and rule connections in areas such as traffic management, customs, ports, and insurance are involved. This is also a new step taken by the Greater Bay Area in promoting "hard connectivity" of infrastructure and "soft connectivity" of institutional mechanisms. Previously, the mainland and Hong Kong had achieved mutual recognition and renewal of driver's licenses; Recently, the policy of "Hong Kong vehicles heading north" was officially announced. New policies, new vitality. I believe that with the continuous promotion of connectivity in the Greater Bay Area, personnel and material flows between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao will become more efficient and convenient, and will also better assist Hong Kong and Macao in accelerating their integration into the overall development of the country.
