You should apply to renew your licence to drive private hire or hackney carriage vehicles at least 1 month before its expiry date. If you are unsure of when your licence expires you can find the date on your badge which you must wear when working.
If you do not apply at least one month before your licence expires we may not be able to grant a new licence to start immediately after your licence expires. This means that you will be unable to work until such time as we grant the licence.
To renew your licence you will need to provide us with:
- The Completed Application Form (click the blue button below)
- Your Identify Documents
- Your DBS certificate and update service registration ID
- DVLA shared driving licence code
- Right to work code
- HMRC Tax registration code
- Two up to date passport photographs.

Where to send it
You can email your application form to licensing.taxis@hertsmere.gov.uk with your identity documents, photographs and current DBS certificate. The other information must be entered on to the application form. Alternatively you can drop the application off at our reception. You do not need an appointment.
If you do not have an up to date DBS certificate you will need to apply for a new one through us and this may delay your renewal.
