Essential works to our phone payments system
We're carrying out essential works to our phone system. This means you may experience a problem paying by phone. You can still make payments online.
Issuing a taxi or private hire driver's licence
How we issue a driver's licence and how to pay.
If you pass the checks and tests, you will need to pay for your driver’s licence before we can issue it.
For more on the cost of a new licence, go to taxi and private hire licence fees.
When driving you must wear your badge at all times, where it can easily be seen by members of the public.
Appeals
If your licence application is refused and you disagree with our decision, you can appeal to the magistrates' court.
