Application
To drive a Private Hire vehicle you must have a licence issued by us.
Please read the private hire taxi driver licence guidance notes before completing the application form.
Incomplete applications will not be accepted and will be returned to you.
We expect all applicants to familiarise themselves with Council policies and conditions attached to licences.
All new Private Hire drivers are required to complete and pass a Knowledge and Conditions Test as part of the application process. We are only accepting applications for those who have successfully passed this test.
A mock test can be found below which gives you an idea of the types of questions asked and how the questions are displayed i.e. multiple choice.
Applicants for a Private Hire Driver Licence should note the "three- licence rule"; Driver, Vehicle and Operator must all be licensed by the same Authority.
