Licensing advice – licence holders

• Always let us know if you receive any conviction, caution, or motoring endorsement within 7 days in writing to the licensing section. (If it is a motoring endorsement do not wait for your licence to come back from the DVLA before telling us).
  
• If you sell or transfer your vehicle licence you must inform us in writing within 14 days, stating the name and address of the person you have sold the vehicle to. Make sure you get the plate changed from your name into their name.
  
• If you move house you must notify us of any change of address within 7 days of your move date. 
  
• If you are changing operator, let us know before you start work with them.
  
• Only licensed Hackney carriage drivers of a Hackney carriage vehicle can ply for hire.  licensed private hire drivers can only do jobs that are booked through their operator. 
  
• If you are licensed for private hire do not ply for hire or stand on Hackney carriage ranks. This may result in your licence being revoked and may result in you being prosecuted.
  
• Always wear your badge when acting as a Hackney carriage or private hire driver.
