Hackney carriage vehicle licences
This licence allows the use of a vehicle to carry the general public a publicly hired vehicle.
Hires can be pre-arranged through a licensed Newcastle-under-Lyme operator but within the borough they can also pick up fares without pre-booking if hailed or from local taxi ranks.
The vehicle can only be driven by a holder of a Newcastle-under-Lyme dual driver licence.
This section provides information on the application process and the documents and tests that we require for you to acquire a licence.
