Renew your Private Hire, Hackney Carriage or combined driver's licence

Renewing your licence: please don't delay applying to renew your licence. We recommend you apply 6 weeks before your current licence is due to expire.

Tax registration guidance: you'll need to be aware of the content of His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) guidance relating to tax registration obligations. Read HMRC's tax registration guidance

Medical information: if you need to submit a new medical with your application and can't get an appointment with your GP, you can temporarily choose to get your medical from a third-party provider instead of your GP. These companies charge a fee for this service. The third party must be registered with the General Medical Council (GMC). 

The provider will need:

• A summary of your medical records – you need to get this from your GP.
• A medical declaration form to complete – find supporting documents and additional information
• A D4 medical form to take to your appointment – download a D4 medical form
