If you want to drive a licensed Private Hire Vehicle in Portsmouth then you must hold a Private Hire Driver's Licence issued to you by the Portsmouth City Council. It is an offence to drive a licensed vehicle without this licence. Pages within this section will tell you:

• What legal requirements you must meet to get a licence
• What information we need from you to enable us to consider your application

We will be asking you to complete an application form and to provide other information in order that we can process your application. All information received will be treated with respect and in confidence.
Please read this page carefully. Feel free to ask (or phone) for advice at any time. It might help if you also read "Take a look at Licensing" which is a general guide to our services and is available on request.
