Apply for a new vehicle licence
Please ensure that the vehicle you wish to licence is fully compliant before starting your application for a new vehicle licence.
Our full vehicle specification is available at: Vehicle specification document (PDF).
Also, all vehicles must:
- have valid road tax
- have a valid MOT certificate
- have operator decals and visors fitted before the vehicle test
Please do not use this form for Hackney Carriage vehicles, instead email taxi.testing@bradford.gov.uk with your requirements.
Documentation
The following documents will need to be uploaded when submitting your application:
- V5C (Logbook pages 2 and 3) with your name and address
- New keeper slip - If you have recently purchased the vehicle and do not have the log book, please provide a copy of your dated new keepers slip or invoice.
- Insurance Certificate - New vehicles may apply without the insurance in place but you must ensure that we receive a copy of a valid insurance certificate no later than 3 working days before the vehicle test date. If the insurance has not been provided in time the plates will be posted to your home address.
Changing Vehicle Test Dates
If you are unable to attend, please email taxi.testing@bradford.gov.uk with your full name, registration number and the reason for the cancellation at least 3 working days before the test (working days are Monday to Friday), otherwise you will incur costs.
