Hackney Carriage and Private Licensing

Renew vehicle

Vehicle licences are renewed annually. We require your completed application form and any relevant documentation at least five working days before your licence expires. 

Documents required:

  • completed application form - £160 for a vehicle under 7 years at the time of renewal. £200 for a vehicle older than 7 years. Print, sign and return via email – if you are not able to print the form, you can complete the form on-line, save as a document and email to taxi@broxbourne.gov.uk. You will then be required to sign the form upon collection of your licence/plate
  • current MOT (legislation requires that hackney carriage licensed vehicles have an MOT once they are 12 months old)
  • valid insurance certificate
  • certificate of compliance

The cost to renew wheelchair accessible vehicles under seven years is £80, and for wheelchair accessible vehicles over seven years the cost is £100.

If we already hold a current MOT, Compliance or insurance certificate for your vehicle then you do not need to provide again with your renewal.

Forms

You must hold a current Broxbourne Hackney Carriage Driver Licence to be permitted to drive a Broxbourne licensed hackney carriage vehicle.

You must hold a current Broxbourne Private Hire Driver Licence in order to drive a Broxbourne licensed private hire vehicle. 

Anyone who is not a Broxbourne licensed driver is not permitted to drive a Broxbourne licensed vehicle at any time, even if they are the licensed driver’s partner/family - unless it is being road tested by a mechanic (with the vehicle having undergone repairs).
