Hackney Carriage Vehicle
Licences
(New applications and
transfers)
IMPORTANT
If you are going to use a private car as a Licensed Hackney
Carriage ALL persons who drive the vehicle must be
licensed by Eastleigh Borough Council to drive a Hackney Carriage
vehicle.
The vehicle cannot be driven by any person who is not licensed
to do so. This is a prosecutable offence.
Before a hackney carriage vehicle licence is granted or
renewed there must be an application
completed and submitted to the Council.
The application form must be completed and signed by the
applicant on the forms prescribed by the Council.
What do I need to produce for examination at the time of the
interview :
- Vehicle registration document or bill of sale (Log book to be
produced when in possession)
- Current vehicle insurance certificate that shows cover for
"public hire and reward" with named driver on the
certificate
- Current vehicle inspection certificate completed by Eastleigh
Borough's Hedge End depot
- Current vehicle MOT test certificate
- 2 colour photographs of the vehicle (front/nearside and
rear/offside)
- Pay to the Council the appropriate fee (see fees and
charges for current rate)
NOTE: Applicants should allow at least
10 - 14 working days for the Council to process an
application.
