Taxi vehicle licence
A vehicle licence is made out to the owner of the vehicle and any individuals that have an interest in that vehicle.
You do not need to be a licensed driver to hold a vehicle licence but you do have to be a licensed driver in order to drive the vehicle.
Accessibility disclaimer: we will soon be moving to online applications for this licence. We are providing the Microsoft Word and printable PDF forms here temporarily until the online service is ready.
If you are unable to use the Word or PDF forms, you can ask us to send you the application form in another format.
