Cross-boundary Private Cars travelling between Guangdong-Hong Kong and Hong Kong-Macao
Hong Kong private cars are required to complete all the formalities as required by the three governments before driving to the HZMB.
Similar to arrangements at other land boundary crossings, private cars which have been allocated with quotas for travelling between Guangdong and Hong Kong via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) must first obtain the Mainland Approval Notices issued by the Guangdong Public Security Department and Closed Road Permit (CRP) and International Circulation Permit (ICP) (applicable to vehicles from Mainland only) issued by the Transport Department (TD) and complete other formalities in the Mainland before travelling between Guangdong and Hong Kong.

"Northbound Travel for Hong Kong Vehicles" (the Scheme) allows eligible Hong Kong private cars to travel between Hong Kong and Guangdong via the HZMB without the need to obtain regular quotas, which would facilitate Hong Kong residents to drive to Guangdong for business, visiting families or sight-seeing on a short-term basis and could make good use of the HZMB and promoting development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The Scheme only accepts online application. Applicants are required to submit application, together with relevant supporting documents, to the thematic website of the Scheme and the application will be jointly assessed by the governments of Guangdong and Hong Kong. The TD will conduct preliminary vetting based on submitted information and the Mainland authorities will also process the applications. Applicants may be required by the Mainland authorities to conduct vehicle inspection and upload qualified Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles. The Mainland authorities and TD would issue the electronic vehicle licence and the e-Approval Letter to the applicants respectively. Applicants can then reserve the specified date and time via the thematic website of the Scheme for travelling to Guangdong Province via the HZMB.
