Authorisation holders will be required to submit and pay for a renewal application at least 6 weeks prior to expiry date of their Authorisation. The process will require you to complete the application form below. A DBS form will be sent to you for completion. Please read the guidance notes before you begin as they contain important information regarding the DBS application and the other requirements of your application.
Where licensees are continuing to work, this should be in line with the Government guidance which may be subject to change - see GOV.UK for further information.
Anyone applying for grant or renewal of a Client Transport Authorisation must have the right to work in the UK. The Council must check that this applies to every applicant before issuing or renewing a authorisation.
