How to surrender your vehicle, driver or operator licence

If you no longer wish to be a licensed taxi or private hire driver, or own a licensed vehicle, you should write to the Council advising that you wish to surrender the licence.

The paper licence, driver's badge and/or vehicle plate should be returned with the letter.

A licensed vehicle remains a licensed vehicle at all times until the licence expires, or is surrendered and so can only be driven by a licensed driver and must comply with all requirements of the Taxi and Private Hire Licensing Policy.

Once the vehicle licence is surrendered and returned, the vehicle reverts to being a private vehicle.

If you have any questions, please email licensing@north-herts.gov.uk or call 01462 474000.
