Taxi Licences

Welcome to the Taxi Licensing pages

NWLDC Licensing service is currently issuing Private Hire and Hackney Carriage vehicle, driver and operator licenses.  We currently don’t have any waiting lists or backlogs. Once a knowledge test has been passed and all the required documentation has been received, completed applications are usually issued within 1-3 business days dependant on service demands. Applications may take longer if there are matters of fitness and propriety that require additional consideration.

All taxi drivers based in North West Leicestershire must be registered with us. The following pages will assist you to become a driver, operator and vehicle licence holder.
