The existing licence holder is required to make the application and complete a transfer consent form. Without this document, the transfer cannot take place.
Important
Once a transfer application has been submitted, to complete the transfer you must upload the following images.
- V5 Registration document showing the new person or company that owns the vehicle.
- Vehicle insurance certificate (not the schedule) for the new person or company.
- Proof of £5 million Public Liability insurance for the new person or company.
- Transfer consent form. A photo of each page of the completed consent form is sufficient.
The existing vehicle attached to the Hackney Carriage licence cannot be separated. The attached vehicle will need to change ownership to the new person or company that will hold the licence.
