Taxi operator right to work
Under the Immigration Act 2016 you must provide certain documents to show you have permission to be in the UK and work as a private hire operator. We will check these documents when you first apply, renew or extend your current licence. If you have time-limited permission to be in the UK we will repeat this check each time you renew or extend your licence (until you can prove you are entitled to stay indefinitely in the UK, without restriction on your ability to work).
Most people provide:
- a UK passport (current or expired)
- a Full UK birth certificate, which includes the name of at least one of your parents, or adoptive parents, and a document with your National Insurance Number in your name issued by a Government agency or a previous employer.
If you can't provide these documents, other acceptable documents are detailed below. If you can't produce original documents your application will be refused.
