N.I. TAXI LICENSING

The necessary steps involved to obtaining a Taxi Drivers license are outlined below: CLICK LINK BELOW:



First-time applicants
To apply for a taxi driver’s licence for the first time you must have held a full Category B (Car) driving licence for at least three years, have passed a taxi driver theory test and a taxi driver practical test,
meet the necessary good repute requirements & medical requirements &
have the right to work in Northern Ireland.
A taxi driver’s licence will only be issued if you meet all the requirements.

Car driving licence
Before you apply for a taxi driver’s licence you must have held a full Category B (car) driving licence for at least 3 years. 

Taxi Driver Theory Test

Anyone applying to become a taxi driver must pass a two-part theory test before they can apply for the practical test.
The theory test is composed of two parts:

Multiple choice questions
The hazard perception test consists of multiple Choice Questions. These will test your knowledge of road safety and operating as a taxi driver.


During the test, you will be shown 14 video clips which feature every day road scenes. In each clip, there will be at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards.
The maximum you can score on each hazard is five.
Drivers need to recognise available clues and perceive danger no matter what vehicle they use.
The pass mark for the hazard perception test is 57 or more out of a possible 75.

Criminal Record check
Before you send in your application you will have to apply online for an enhanced disclosure certificate (EDC). This is required to check if you have any conviction which may stop you getting a taxi driver’s licence.  

Good Standing
The law requires that all taxi drivers are fit and proper people to hold licences. Having a criminal record won’t necessarily stop you from holding a taxi driver’s licence, however, if you have been convicted of a serious offence you may not be eligible to hold a licence until at least three years have passed since the date of conviction. Each conviction is considered on its own merit taking account of the penalty imposed and any mitigating factors.  

Health
When you are applying you must give details of any health condition likely to affect your fitness as a driver of a taxi.  All first time applicants are required to have a TLM1 medical form completed by their GP. They will send a TLM1 medical form out to you when we receive your application. You will need to arrange for your doctor to complete the form. Depending on the information it contains further medical checks may be required which can delay a decision on your licence.

Medical standards for taxi drivers are higher than those required for car drivers. Taxi drivers are required to meet the same medical standards as those applied to buses and lorries (Group 2). Further information on the conditions and disabilities which are investigated for Group 2 licence holders
