Private hire or hackney carriage vehicle licence

All private hire and hackney carriage vehicles must be licenced with the council before they can be used for business.   A licence will not be issued until the vehicle has passed the Authorities vehicle test.  

Identification plates will be issued for the vehicle once it is licenced, which must be displayed at all times.

The links on the right-hand side will help guide you through the application process.

The licensing office is open during the following hours:

Monday - Thursday  08:45 - 17:15  
Friday                    08:45 - 16:45
