IS THERE A RENEWAL GRACE PERIOD FOR HACKNEY DRIVERS LICENSES?
Yes. A Hackney Driver has up to three months from the date of expiration to renew their license. However, if the driver fails to renew the hackney license on time, the licensee cannot operate a taxicab until the license is renewed. If the license is not renewed within the three month period, the licensee must retake and pass the hackney driver’s test before the license can be renewed. In cases where it has been more than a year, the applicant has to attend Hackney school.
