To apply for a taxi licence in either city, you will need to meet certain eligibility requirements. These typically include being at least 18 years old and have held a full UK drivers licence for a minimum period of 12 months.

Once your application has been submitted and reviewed, you may be required to attend an interview with local licensing officials if you have held or outstanding criminal or motoring convictions. This is typically a simple process where you will answer any questions they have about your application and provide any further documentation they may need.

If all goes well, you should receive your private hire taxi licence either through mail or by collection from the licencing authority head office within 30 days from submission of the licence application. Congratulations on getting your licence, and best of luck as you begin your career as a private hire taxi driver for City of Wolverhampton or Ashfield District Council!
