Are Applicants Scrutinised?
We are advised by the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) about all new applicants for licences. Once a licence has been granted a CRB check will be carried out every three years. This must be completed and returned to us 3 months before expiry of your hackney carriage/private hire drivers licence to ensure continuation of the licence. We treat each application on its merits and want to be sure that the applicant is a fit and proper person whom members of the public can trust.
