If you do require a new certificate, please access the portal provided by Stoke-on-Trent City Council and complete the following process:

  1. To start the process you will be required to complete the 'organisation reference' which is UBNULBCLICENSING, then leave the 'organisation code' blank.
       
  2. There are guidance notes on each page explaining what each section means and what will happen if you do not complete the form correctly.
       
  3. If any information is incomplete you will not be able to continue until you have completed all the required boxes.
       
  4. In 'employment information' please complete the position applied for as 'taxi driver'.
       
  5. Please carefully check the information that you have completed and edit if required.
