Taxi licensing

If you are a private hire operator you will need one. 

Any person who receives bookings or has contracts for the hire and reward for a private hire vehicle is required to hold an Operator's licence.

An Operator's Licence shall be valid for a maximum term of five years (unless a shorter period is deemed appropriate by the Borough Council).

Records required to be kept by the Operator under Section 56(2) of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 shall be kept in a suitable book, folder or other means approved by the Council (this can include electronic record systems providing the information is recorded, securely stored and readily retrievable), and produced for examination or on demand by an Authorised Officer/Agent or Police Officer
