A vehicle is required to pass a full Compliance Test or private MOT prior to licence renewal. Which one depends on the vehicles age from first registration, see: compliance testing.
Requirements
You must apply online. Before you apply, please read:
- The required documents must be uploaded when you apply. If you do not do this, it will delay your application.
- You must upload:
- A valid MOT certificate (if applicable).
-
Original certificate of insurance.
This must be valid at the point that the licence is issued. (Temporary cover notes may expire before the point of grant therefore please think about this when applying for the insurance.) The insurance certificate produced must show cover for private hire use or hackney carriage. The original or certified copy of the insurance must be kept in the licensed vehicle at all times. It must be available to an authorised officer upon request.
You will be contacted by a Licensing Team member to book an appointment to pick up your new plate.
