Licensing Driver

In making the application

I declare that my answers to the questions above are true to the best of my knowledge. I understand that if I have knowingly made any omissions or statements I know to be false that the Council may refuse my application. If the Council has already granted a licence, it will be liable to immediate suspension and/or prosecution.
 

Licence conditions

I have read the pre-licensing and licence conditions and understand them.
 

Right to work

I understand that my right to work in the UK will be checked as part of my licence application, this could include the licensing authority checking my immigration status with the Home Office. The licensing authority may also share information with the Home Office. I may either share my immigration status using the Home Office online checking service ‘prove your right to work to an employer’ if my status is compatible with the service, or provide a document or document combination that is stipulated as being suitable for this check. Where an online check has been carried out, the ‘profile’ page confirming my right to work will be copied and retained by the licensing authority. Copies of any documents provided will retained by the licensing authority. My application will not be considered valid until all the necessary information and (where necessary) any original document(s) have been produced and the relevant fee has been paid. If there are restrictions on the length of time I might work in the UK, a licence will not be issued for any longer than this period. In such circumstances the check will be repeated each time I need to apply to renew or extend my licence, if, during this period, I am disqualified from holding a licence because I have not complied with the UK’s immigration laws, my licence will lapse and I will return it to the licensing authority. Failure to do so is a criminal offence.’
 

Enhanced DBS checks and update service

I understand that I must sign up to the DBS update service and maintain the annual subscription. I understand that by using this service I will authorise the Council or third parties to make regular update checks. If an update check fails, I will need to submit to a further extended DBS check and my licence might be suspended until that status has been confirmed.
 

Driver licence

I have provided proof of being the holder of a full driver licence for at least two years and authorise the Council to check my UK domestic driver licence record.
 

NR3 (National register of taxi licence refusals and revocations)

I understand that the Council has signed up to the NR3 data sharing agreement, and share data with other authorities and upload data to the NR3 register.

I understand that my application will not be considered valid and therefore cannot be processed until valid copies of all required documents have been correctly completed and submitted.
