Have a medical check

To drive a hackney carriage or private hire vehicle, you must be physically able to perform the duties of a licensed driver. This may involve lifting heavy objects such as luggage and wheelchairs. 

To decide whether you are fit to drive a hackney carriage or private hire vehicle, you must undergo a medical examination with your own GP, or another doctor who has access to your medical records. This examination will be carried out at your own expense. 

Please arrange for your GP or other doctor who has access to your medical records to complete this form:

Medical examination certificate

Once complete you will need to upload this with your application.
