Transport for London

Renewals

Taxi rank Driver licences are valid for three years. You should renew your licence before your current one expires by submitting a renewal application form.

We will send you a renewal form about four weeks before your current licence expires. Alternatively you can get one from our offices or use the Post Office check and send service. It is your responsibility to ensure you renew your licence on time.

We'll send you the forms but it's your responsibility to send it in on time

If you don't submit your renewal application before your current licence expires you can't ply for hire and will invalidate your hire and reward insurance policy.

What to send with your renewal

Return your renewal form to us with:

Your new licence

If you have completed your forms correctly and sent us the licence fee payment, we will send you a new licence in the post.

If there are any discrepancies we will contact you immediately

Not renewing your licence

If you don't want to renew your licence you must return both licences (original and copy) and your badge to us immediately after the expiry date.
