Change of vehicle ownership

If you wish to sell your licensed vehicle to a new owner, complete with the existing licence and licence plate (e.g. when retiring), you can make an application to change the vehicle ownership.

The new owner is allowed to continue operating that vehicle until its existing licence expires if they obtain suitable insurance cover.

If the existing owner surrenders the licence and then later wants to licence a new vehicle, the vehicle will have to meet all the requirements of the Taxi Licensing Policy including being wheelchair accessible.

Application

Please submit the following documents to Licensing@north-herts.gov.uk

  • completed application
  • required fee
  • V5c Logbook
  • valid insurance certificate - must have one (1) month's cover from the date the plate is to be issued

Payment

The fee should be paid by the new owner.

You will be contacted once your application is granted and provided with collection details.

If you have any questions, please email licensing@north-herts.gov.uk
