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.
