Licence renewals
To renew your licence, complete the renewal form fully, ensuring all questions are answered and that it is signed and dated. Scan or photograph the form along with any required documents such as your DVLA driving licence, DBS documents if applicable, medical if required, and the DVLA Share Code, then email everything to taxi.licensing@northtyneside.gov.uk.
If you cannot provide any required documents, highlight this in your application or email. Make sure to include a contact phone number so the Licensing Team can call you to take payment by debit or credit card.
If you can't get a medical appointment with your GP, email the Licensing Office immediately for advice. You can still submit your renewal application without the medical form.
Once your application is complete and all records are updated, your new licence will be emailed to you, and your I.S. badges will be sent by post. If your application is incomplete but you have paid the licence fee, you will receive an authorisation letter allowing you to continue driving. If you are unable to submit your application for any reason, contact the Licensing Office for assistance.
